Nordic Christmas

A break in the Christmas rush filled with the most beautiful voices and moods from Christmas in the Nordic countries. The vocal ensemble Ars Nova Copenhagen’s traditional Christmas concert this year presents music by, among others, Grieg, Sibelius, Nielsen, Lidholm, Gjeilo, Thorvaldsdottir and Nørholm. It’s “Nordic Christmas”.

The ensemble’s singers and chief conductor Sofi Jeannin has put together a program that reflects that the group’s members come from the Nordic countries. Which songs warm Swedish hearts at Christmas time? What stories do you hear by the fireplace in Norway? And are the Christmas carols of Sibelius actually the most beautiful in the whole Nordic region? Or is it the Danish Christmas hymns that, in their simplicity, contain the Christmas spirit? You may be able to get answers to that and much more on this occasion.
