Panumkoret brings its annual Christmas concert to Helleruplund Kirke in Copenhagen, a programme that weaves together the themes of light in the dark, the wonder of the miraculous and the power of singing together.
The concert draws on the long roots of European choral music, from medieval Latin liturgy to English cathedral traditions and the renewal of choral singing in the 20th century. Scandinavian Christmas music follows, from wintry darkness to the light that breaks through, and the concert also honours the strong Danish hymn tradition that many Danes still know by heart. The choir both sings for the audience and invites them to sing along.
