Christmas on Danish kl. 17 - University Choir Lille MUKO

Lille MUKO presents two Christmas concerts titled 'Christmas on Danish' at Holmens Church on December 19 - one at 2 p.m. and one at 5 p.m. The programme features well-known Danish and international Christmas songs, all sung in Danish, with audience sing-alongs as a regular part of the concert. Doors open one hour before.
