Hilary Cronin joins the Bristol Ensemble for a magical Christmas concert of stunning baroque music. Hilary won the international Handel Singing Competition and was selected by BBC Music Magazine as a “Rising Star of 2022.” Praised by Classical Voice North America for her “shining, rounded timbre,” and singled out by The Times as “sensational” she has established her self as a leading UK Baroque soprano soloist.

Works by Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Corelli and Pachelbel all performed in the beautiful candlelight atmosphere of St George’s make this a wonderful intimate and warm Christmas experience.
