Spectacular sounds of Christmas

Town Hall Broadmeadows will be filled with festive magic as the Hume Orchestra presents its annual Christmas Concert.

From trumpets and cellos to magnificent choral performances, the program promises a family-friendly celebration of Christmas and the joy of orchestral music.

The lineup includes a Telemann Concerto for trumpet, violin, and cello and Christmas songs performed by ARCapella and the Gladstone Park Primary chamber choir.

Set for Sunday, December 8 with a 2.30pm start, the afternoon will begin with a grand choral and end with a hallelujah chorus.

The Hume Orchestra was formed by founder Helen Hatzikalis in 2018, who first came up with the idea in 2009 while teaching.

The original intent of the orchestra was for it to be a pathway for a program from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s Pizzicato Effect, which provided children in Hume free instrumental tuition

The orchestra had its first inaugural performance on May 1 in 2022 at the Town Hall Broadmeadows.

At its first Christmas concert – the 2019 Craigieburn Carols – the group performed La Nuit Americaine, which it will perform again at this upcoming event.

Entry to the Christmas Concert is free.
