Sjællands Kirkemusikskole, which trains church singers, organists and choir leaders for the Danish National Church, presents a Christmas concert in Jægersborg Kirke with around 50 student singers.
The main work is "A Winter's Night" by Cecilia McDowall, a Christmas cantata for mixed choir and organ built around five beloved carols in fresh arrangements. The students also sing some of the great Christmas arias and church carols, and there is organ music for the season. The audience is invited to join in with well-known hymns.
Conducted by Kasper Bech Hemmingsen, with organist Sven Verner Olsen at the keyboard. Sven Verner Olsen also has upcoming concerts at Frihavnskirken and Jesuskirken in the coming weeks, including a half-hour lunchtime recital on the Cavaillé-Coll organ at Jesuskirken on 2 December.
