Featuring 'The Nutcracker' with animated video and guest vocalist Helen Perry!

Derwent Brass presents its annual Belper Christmas concert — A Christmas Cracker!

Following the success of A Very Bublé Christmas in 2024, the band now turn to All I Want for Christmas for 2025 — a Mariah Carey-inspired celebration of festive pop. Expect “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “Santa Baby,” “Jingle Bells,” and many more, delivered by the stunning Helen Perry of the Kristian Thomas Company, accompanied by the multi-award-winning brass band - Derwent Brass, and their Music Director Jack Capstaff.

The programme also features a brand-new brass arrangement of The Nutcracker — Tchaikovsky’s magical Christmas classic retold through brass and animation. Follow Clara’s enchanted Christmas Eve adventure filled with toy soldiers, dancing sweets, and the Sugar Plum Fairy!

The evening concludes with The Spirit of Christmas — an uplifting mix of carols, swing, and audience favourites to send you and your loved ones home full of festive cheer. All brought to life by Derwent Brass, Derbyshire’s Premier Brass Band, blending that traditional heart-warming sound with virtuoso performance.
