The acclaimed pianist Jack Gibbons makes a rare Christmas visit to Oxford from the United States, to give a special concert in celebration of Christmas and the winter solstice. The programme includes Gibbons’ virtuoso piano arrangements of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, Winter from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, the Pastorale from Corelli’s Christmas Concerto, plus Schubert’s Ave Maria (arranged Liszt) and more seasonal works by Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Debussy and Gibbons.

“Jack Gibbons is a unique phenomenon in the musical world of today. Thanks to his virtuosic skills Gibbons can hold an audience in thrall. His concert-giving style is equally attractive: before his performances he talks unassumingly but with great authority from the platform, drawing the listeners into a special relationship.” Humphrey Burton CBE
