Christmas Concerts in Lund and Malmö 10th and 16th of December

Welcome to a different Christmas concert with Svanholm Singers.

Now that the days have grown darker, and the nights have gone colder, we look back on two days in 2011 which were imprinted in our minds: March 11 and July 22. Two days that, more than others, have left traces. We recall the sorrow, the fear, the powerlessness, and the anger, but also how hope, solidarity, and light indefatigably broke through during the darkest of times. Therefore to us, Christmas this year will hold reflection as well as joy, and we want to share those reflections and that joy with you.

One day a year we should all pretend
that death has put its soul to rest.
No great illusions drawn to an end
and no one shot for a four-dollar quest.

Stig Dagerman (English interpretation Spoke Wintersparv)

Music by Tormis, Takach, Whitacre and others.
