Charles Pring Writer Whatever you may think of them, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a Star Wars film. And, if you’re anything like me, you may well have attempted to levitate the TV remote into your hand afterwards. But even if I can’t use the force, could anyone? And will I ever be the ...

Charles Pring Writer Everyone knows that December means ubiquitous, unavoidable Christmas music, but have you ever wondered which Beatle wrote the best Christmas song, or which songs you should avoid listening to with elderly relatives at all costs?

Adam Nicholson Writer From the stately symphonic to the theatrically avant-garde, the SSO are back with a diverse programme of Haydn, Ligeti, and Wagner in this tremendous orchestral offering.
