All We Want For Christmas

Christmas in Art Song. 

Mrs Claus steps into the spotlight as ACOCO presents All We Want for Christmas, a festive Australian premiere starring the one-and-only Helena Dix.

We’re giving the gift of an Australian premiere of this brand new song cycle, with words by Melbourne-based writer Caitlin Vincent and music by Jodi Goble. Giving Mrs Claus her moment centre stage, the work offers a fresh perspective on a familiar festive figure.

An array of ACOCO’s favourite artists joins the celebration, with Coady Green at the piano, for Christmas art songs from around the world.

Bringing together a new work and an international selection of seasonal song, All We Want for Christmas invites audiences to hear and celebrate Christmas a little differently.
