Join us in spreading some festive cheer (and music) with our 24 Day Classical Countdown.
In May, we invited you to take part in our 30 Day Classical Challenge. Each day we chose a theme and asked you to pick a piece of classical music to represent that theme. Thirty days later, we featured your suggestions alongside ours in one bumper playlist.
Now we're bringing the challenge back, and this time, it's festive! Each day from 1–24 December, we'll suggest a new theme, and it's up to you to choose your classical holiday favourites. Anything goes – vocal or orchestral, old or new, Bach or Bing!
Can't wait to join in? Here's how …
1. Check out the template below with all 24 themes (click to expand).
2. Share your daily pick on Instagram (or any other platform you like) using the hashtag #ClassicalCountdown.
3. Tag us @londonsymphonyorchestra! We'd love to see your suggestions and share some of our favourites on our own Instagram story.
4. Don't forget to check our Instagram story each day for our suggestions (including some special guest picks from our players and conductors).
