The Nutcracker Suite

Tchaikovsky’s score to The Nutcracker Ballet is loved the world over, known for its evocative use of instruments to convey the magic of Christmas. Come out and get in the holiday spirit with us as we find out what makes this music still so great 131 years after it was first premiered!

We will be listening to the orchestral suite for a concert setting which Tchaikovsky penned in 1892.
