For this special Christmas concert, clarinettist Emma Johnson and the National Youth Chamber Choir will collaborate on Emma's Songs of Celebration for clarinet and upper voices, interspersed by favourite and new Christmas music such as Coventry Carol, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. There will also be a short new piece, Joy, for full choir and clarinet.
