Christmas concerts
Three weeks before Christmas, The Norwegian Soloists' Choir sets out on its Christmas tour, which has become a cherished tradition for many. This year's Christmas concerts are topped off with outstanding musicians in Ensemble Allegria and fiddle player Gjermund Larsen!
Together they will perform highlights from the choir's critically acclaimed Christmas records Rós and Veni – Songs of Christmas. Norwegian folk tunes are intertwined with well-known Christmas melodies, which are performed in a way that innovates and makes the familiar fresh!
In addition to being a virtuoso fiddler, Gjermund Larsen is an outstanding composer, and several of his pieces and arrangements will be performed at this year's Christmas concert.
The Norwegian Soloists' Choir and Ensemble Allegria have worked closely together for many years and shaped a distinctive sound and interplay that simply has to be experienced! They have been awarded the Spellemannprisen, the Critics' Prize and the high-hanging Diapason D'Or for their collaborations.
The concerts are led by Grete Pedersen, the Soloistkoret's artistic director and conductor for over 30 years.
