Christmas concert with Oslo Vocal Ensemble

This year's concert program is based on the central themes of Christmas – wonder, hope, light, and mystery – and explores these through music from various periods and traditions. The program features contemporary classical choral music by composers such as Poulenc, Whitacre, and MacMillan. This repertoire is placed in dialogue with beloved Christmas songs from Norwegian and Nordic tradition, in playful and sonorous arrangements by, among others, Frode Fjellheim, Bjørn Andor Drage, and Ørjan Matre. We are very excited to make music together with langeleik player Ingrid Lingaas Fossum and flutist Steinar Ofsdal. Together, we aim to create a concert experience that encompasses both the familiar and the surprising, allowing for contemplation, musical discovery, and the many sounds of Christmas.
