Spokesman Barry Cranford said: “This will be a family-friendly performance with plenty of opportunity for everyone including children to take part and should be a real treat for all to experience live Christmas music in a large concert hall. WPO music director Dominic Grier has a day off from conducting the Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and will come back to Worthing to direct the large forces of the Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boundstone Chorus.

“The singers with their music director Aedan Kerney will also be joined by operatic baritone soloist Peter Snipp and the choir from Sompting Village Primary School.

“Peter Snipp has performed many leading operatic roles alongside Dominic both at the Royal Opera House and in opera and concert venues internationally. His voice will fill the large Assembly Hall and also encourage both Sompting Primary pupils and the audience to do their vocal best and have a load of fun.”
