Bringing some musicality to the heart of Spitalfields, the Spitalfields Winter Festival is a month long celebration of song. With traditional festive pieces, carols and more, there is plenty to enjoy during the December festival.

Spitalfields Winter Festival 2008
Offering an eclectic mix of styles, periods and performances the Spitalfields Winter Festival is an ideal way to escape the hustle and bustle of the high street at Christmas; forget your Christmas shopping, your table and menu plans, the endless work dos and the thousands of cards you have to write, and relax with the soothing sounds of the choirs and orchestras as make festive music.

Classical Christmas
For those that like their traditional music at Christmas the Spitalfields Winter Festival caters in abundance. The Montiverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists will perform the Christmas Oratorio at Christ Church, and kids and family will love the chance to see the Spitalfields Christmas Carol, which is an unusual interactive tour through Dickens' East End.

Festive tunes in Spitalfields
With spellbinding Christmas songs and celebratory winter pieces, a whole range of groups will perform their vibrant festive music, that will certainly put you in a tingling Yuletide mood as part of the Spitalfields Surroundings at Crispin Place. Another more modern performance comes from Craig Ogden at Toynbee Hall, as he plays three astounding pieces for solo guitar. A well loved tradition, the Spitalfields Winter Festival 2008 is perfect for all the family as a special musical Christmas treat.
