ORA Singers: Swing into Christmas

A Christmas concert by ORA Singers, a vocal ensemble, presented as a jazz programme at Ladbroke Hall in London. The event is titled Swing into Christmas.

The programme brings together seasonal songs and jazz-inflected arrangements, performed by the ORA Singers under the title Swing into Christmas. The evening suits listeners who enjoy jazz harmony and vocal ensemble writing applied to festive repertoire, and it is well suited to a December outing in London.

Ladbroke Hall hosts concerts and shows in London, and this evening places the vocal ensemble at the centre of the programme. The music is built around the swing idiom, so the sound is driven by close vocal harmony and rhythmic phrasing rather than by a solo voice or a band with amplified instruments.

The concert is a good choice for anyone looking for an easy, seasonal introduction to vocal jazz, whether attending alone, with friends or with family who enjoy choral singing.
