Walking in the Air...

Atom was delighted to be one of the sponsors of ‘The Mayor’s Christmas Spectacular’ held on the 4^th of December in The Maltings theatre, located by Ely’s beautiful riverside. Along with various festive family games and activities including of course Santa’s grotto, the centrepiece of the show was a recital of Howard Blake’s uplifting score of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs performed by The Ely Sinfonia. The magical adventure unfolded to the music courtesy of narrator Jeremy Harmer and soprano Jenny Bingham who sang the signature solo ‘Walking in the Air’ beautifully. 

Held in association with ADeC - Arts Development in East Cambridgeshire, the monies raised from sponsorship and ticket sales went to The Mayor’s Charity which benefits numerous local children’s organisations. This was the first of what is hoped to become a regular annual event and judging by the rapturous applause and the smiling faces of little and not so little ones, we are sure it will continue to go from success to success.
