The Snowman

Perth Symphony brings the magic of Christmas alive with their performance of The Snowman. This beautiful Academy Award-nominated film, based on Raymond Briggs’ famous book, depicts the story of the adventures of a young boy who builds a Snowman on the night before Christmas.

The orchestral score, by Howard Blake, will be performed live in concert by Perth Symphony Orchestra. The soundtrack includes the song ‘Walking in the Air’ made famous by Aled Jones—and will be performed by the winner of Perth Symphony’s ‘Search for a Star’ boy soprano competition.

This story is a well known Christmas classic, with the original book selling over 8.5 million copies worldwide. The concert will include a delightful introduction to the orchestra—hosted by Chief Conductor—Jessica Gethin, and followed by some Christmas surprises!

We invite you to join us in Scotch College’s Dickinson Centre, which will be transformed, into a winter wonderland. This magical concert is presented by Foundation Partner AHG, Concert Partner Brownes and hosted by venue partner Scotch College, the Home of Perth Symphony.
