View Classic FM’s full festive schedule, and find out more about each show, on the Schedule page at ClassicFM. This December, a flute, harp, and cello trio bring a blend of classical and popular favourites to the Poole community, with free cake and hot drinks during intervals. While his friends, Peter the cat and Finty the dog, find humans, Gaspard wraps himself and his bushy tail around the man that they have identified as Nikolas, to keep him warm. He celebrates the very best music from the iconic Vienna New Year’s Concert from the city’s Musikverein, which has taken place every year since 1941 and has been conducted by some of classical music’s greatest names from Daniel Barenboim to Herbert von Karajan. We spoke to Zeb and James about all things Christmas ahead of the concerts this month (…and included a few RSNO treats throughout!

Based on our recently published book of the same name, Tim explores ten orchestral instruments and some of the music that shows them off at their greatest, in a fun and informative guide to classical music for families. From beloved Christmas carols to wintery classical masterpieces, Classic FM provides the perfect soundtrack to December’s celebrations. The multi-talented Zeb Soanes talks to The QR about his foxy creation’s latest adventure, Gaspard’s Christmas, coming to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall this December 23rd backed by the RSNO! A winner of the 1994 New York Times prize for illustration, his many other titles include Koshka’s Tales and illustrations for Mrs Noah’s Pockets (by Jackie Morris).It was a tremendous privilege that Gaspard trusted us to the extent that she (as she revealed herself to be) led us to her den to meet her six cubs, whom she then proceeded to bring to us on her nightly visits. Tonight’s concert brings you that music from The Bridgewater Hall stage in a live performance with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Illustration is a huge part of Gaspard’s public life, how would you characterise your relationship with your illustrator? It is the chipping away at the extraneous to leave the most succinct story without losing any of the character and colour of the original longer version.
