Get into the Christmas spirit with the Aarhus Chamber Orchestra in a concert built on warm melodies, shared carol singing and the music of Carl Nielsen. The evening opens with Nielsen's flute concerto, marking its centenary in 2026, before moving through a selection of his Christmas songs, several of them heard in brand-new orchestral arrangements made for this concert.
Soprano Emilie Haaning Christensen and flutist Sofia Ericson join the orchestra, while conductor and artistic director Magnus Plejdrup links the programme with short stories about Nielsen's life and music. The orchestra also leads the audience in singing along to some of the carols, so the festive mood can fill the whole church.
- Emilie Haaning Christensen also performs at Nytårskoncert med Ensemble Storstrøm at Baltoppen Live on 17 January 2027.
- Sofia Ericson also performs at Kammerkoncert: Fløjtekvintet at Musikhuset Aarhus on 13 December 2026.
