Christmas on Danish kl. 14 - University Choir Lille MUKO

Lille MUKO presents a Christmas concert titled 'Christmas on Danish' at Holmens Church on December 19 at 2 p.m. (and again at 5 p.m.). The concert features well-known Danish and international Christmas songs - all sung in Danish - as well as sing-alongs where the audience is invited to join in.

Soloists Frederikke and Anders Kampmann perform alongside Tine Rehling on harp, Eva Østergaard and Nikolaj von Scholten on flute, Jakob Lorentzen on organ, and Ole Faurschou as conductor. Jakob Lorentzen, organist at Holmens Church, has arranged many of the songs performed. Lille MUKO also contributes pieces from the choir's own repertoire.
