Event Details Join us at Belfast Cathedral for a truly spectacular evening of festive music and celebration at our Christmas Gala Concert, as we mark the 50th Anniversary of Belfast's Black Santa annual charity appeal. Set within the magnificent surroundings of St Anne’s Cathedral Belfast, this special concert promises an unforgettable evening of Christmas music, featuring sing-a-long seasonal favourites, glorious orchestral scores from the movies, alongside choral works that will truly get you into the festive spirit! Featuring the Choir of Belfast Cathedral, joined by our friends The Priory Singers and the Studio Symphony Orchestra, the evening will bring together an outstanding array of musical talent, directed by our own Jack Wilson, Organist and Master of Music at Belfast Cathedral. This year’s concert is particularly special as we celebrate 50 years of the Black Santa Appeal, a much-loved Belfast Christmas tradition which supports local charities and those most in need across Northern Ireland. This year is particularly special, as Black Santa aims to raise an additonal £100,000 to suppourt the amazing work of the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice. All proceeds from the Black Santa Appeal go towards supporting local charities, and we are delighted to celebrate this remarkable anniversary through an evening of music, community and festive goodwill. Ticket's are on sale now, and we hope to see you there!
