It has been a difficult year for everyone especially musicians.

We have been honored to feature some of the finest voices in the crossover genre including G4, Margaret Keys, Nadia Eide, Barbara Padilla, Karl Loxley, Lucy Kay, Classical Reflection and so many other incredible performers.
“A Crossover Christmas” is the final lockdown concert of the year and we are excited to bring a selection of music highlighting the hope and joy of the Christmas season. This time we feature voices from England, Wales, and the United States.
