Join André Rieu for his 2025 festive concert – Merry Christmas. Joyful carols, beautiful waltzes and plenty of surprises – it’s the ultimate Christmas cinema event.
With his fabulous Johann Strauss orchestra and special guests including over 400 brass players bringing the majestic sound of Christmas, this concert is bursting with warmth, laughter and holiday cheer.
Tickets £17 standard; £14 under-26
Sunday 7th at 2.30pm and Tuesday 9th at 7.30pm. Doors and bar open 45 minutes before screening starts.
Emily Andrews (flutes) and David Massey (guitars) reach down into their tangled musical roots to create their own unique and imaginative instrumental arrangements of traditional Christmas carols and folk songs from all over the British Isles.
Well-loved carols and seasonal songs are recast with influences from country, world music and folk, including the Coventry Carol on haunting solo flute and Silent Night with shimmering high guitar harmonics above the alto flute's gentle lullaby.
Carols will be interspersed with British folk music from the Duo's acclaimed album 'from the roots....new branches', including well loved favourites like Molly Malone, Dance to your Daddy and Bold Grenadier.
Emily and David are two of the CarmenCo Trio who performed their wonderful A Pocket Opera at the Izzy back in April.

The Will Barnes Quartet's music combines timeless laid-back swing tunes, punctuated by sharply-focused fiery passages; the sound is fresh, consistently breathing new life into classic works, alongside Will’s memorable compositions. Known for their tight interplay and dynamic live performances, this tour offers an evening of contemporaray jazz that's both heartfelt and compelling.
Their new album, Outside the Light, is characterised by fluid, melodic music reflecting the changing seasons in the landscape of mid Wales, where the musicians all live.
