Sct. Pauls Cantoris julekoncert

Christmas tones from near and far - this year's Christmas concert with St. Paul's Cantori When December announces its arrival and writes the first snow, St.

Paul's Cantori invites you to this year's Christmas concert. It will be an atmospheric journey through both Danish Christmas traditions and tones from our neighbouring countries.

You can look forward to an evening with both well-known classics and new tones in both traditional and fresh arrangements. The programme takes the listeners from the English Christmas repertoire with works such as Gabriel's Message and Seek Him That Maketh, through the Swedish Julsång, to the beloved classics from the Danish Christmas song collection.

With the concert we wish to light candles in the December darkness and feel the genuine Christmas atmosphere in the midst of the cold winter season. St.

Paul's Cantori is a professional chamber choir consisting of young music students and trained singers from the country's conservatories. Several of the singers are affiliated with the Royal Danish Opera Choir, Ars Nova and the Swedish Radio Choir.

The great oratorios of church music are regularly performed with soloists, choir and orchestra, including Handel's "Messiah", which will also be performed this year at Odense Cathedral and St. Paul's Church, 19th-20th December.

Paul's Church. Therefore the audience is offered a small refreshment after the concert.

The actual anniversary celebration takes place with a reception after high mass in St. Paul's Church, the 1st Sunday in Advent on 29th November at 10.00.
