    Join the Belfast Philharmonic Choir, Youth and Chamber Choirs and Phil Kids, as all levels of The Phil perform Britten's moving Saint Nicolas. The choirs have been learning their parts from home all through the autumn before a little festive magic (and the best of production engineering) will bring them together into a Christmas concert everyone can enjoy from their homes all over Northern Ireland and worldwide. The choirs are joined by Ross Scanlon singing the title role, a ensemble of Northern Irish musicians, and in the two congregational hymns are swelled by a community chorus to represent the strength and beauty of choral music.

    Directed by Stephen Doughty, Lynsey Callaghan and Caroline Jones
