Kings Chamber Orchestra will delight audiences with romance, wonder and hope. With their unique humour and touching stories, music ranging from film and TV highlights to romantic classics, we anticipate tears and laughter.
The winter tour ‘Christmas Journey’ presents some of the most beautiful music. Don’t miss out on an afternoon of classical music in our candle-lit Chapel as the orchestra soothe your soul with their heavenly sounds.
KCO’s founder and conductor, Gerard Le Feuvre, will ensure you have some good laughs as he tells stories from his most unusual life as a professional cellist. This is a London based professional chamber orchestra of friends (but playing in Harpenden!) and they are not above some playful antics!
At times, you will be transported as the musicians move through the audience, improvising and creating celestial melodies. With Advent carols and poignant reflections from Gerard, this concert will truly be, as our regulars say, “when my Christmas really starts!”
