About

All I Want for Christmas is Tunes brings a festive twist to Sofia Kirwan-Baez's beloved request nights, with something for every kind of Christmas spirit. Expect a merry mix of golden oldies, jazzy Rat Pack favourites, guilty-pleasure pop classics, wintry surprises, and a sprinkling of carols — all wrapped up with a bow of charm and spontaneity. From Jingle Bell Rock to Last Christmas, and maybe even a Venezuelan or French gem or two, this cosy musical grab-bag promises tunes to warm every heart. Sofia will be joined by a surprise guest instrumentalist — one of the UK's leading musical figures (you will not be disappointed!).

Anglo-Venezuelan singer, composer and pianist Sofia Kirwan-Baez leads a varied musical life, from jazz and pop gigs to choral and operatic stages, including the Royal Albert Hall, Cadogan Hall, Bridgewater Hall and Wigmore Hall. Whether singing Puccini or Mariah Carey, she brings storytelling and flair in equal measure — and this concert promises festive joy, musical surprises, and plenty of heart.

The performance runs for two hours (including an interval), in a cabaret-style setting at the OSO — complete with festive drinks and a warm, twinkly atmosphere.
