Lukaskorets concert "Mørk er november" takes its cue from All Saints' Day, a time for remembering the dead, lighting candles on graves and, in some churches, reading out the names of parishioners who died over the past year.
The programme explores darkness, death, consolation and life. The choir begins in a completely dark church, and the light slowly grows as the concert goes on. Singers are placed at different points around the building, so voices seem to come from above, behind and beside the audience. The repertoire is mainly classical choral works, many of them with melodies listeners may recognise, along with Nordic folk tunes.
