Lovely is the earth - Ullern church

In 2026, Deilig er jorden will celebrate its 10th anniversary and once again invites the audience to a festive pre-Christmas concert in some of the country's most beautiful churches. Over ten years, Rein Alexander has created a Christmas concert that has become a cherished tradition for many – filled with well-known Christmas songs, powerful musical moments, and genuine Christmas spirit. During the anniversary year, he will be joined by Elisabeth Andreassen and Kim Rysstad. Together, they convey the Christmas music with warmth, intimacy, and musicality, in an expression that ranges from the intimate and contemplative to the grand and powerful. The artists are accompanied by a cohesive musical team led by conductor and keyboardist Petter Anthon Næss, guitarist Torbjørn Økland, and multi-instrumentalist Michael Caplin on violin, percussion, guitar, and other instruments. Deilig er jorden offers a concert experience that allows for goosebumps, reflection, and that wonderful, recognizable Christmas feeling – a tradition to return to, year after year.
