On December 15 at 5 p.m., the Lucia Concert will take place once again in the Peterskirche in Leipzig.
Many enthusiastic listeners come to the church during the Advent season to enjoy the Nordic sounds and to see Lucia, who traditionally brings light to the people together with her entourage. This custom, originating from a saint’s feast day, is especially cherished in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. The artists living in Leipzig who perform at the Lucia Concert also come from these countries.
The concert will also feature the world premiere of Sanna Ahvenjärvi’s and Tapio Lappalainen’s new Christmas song Joulu saapuu taas / Christmas is coming again, arranged for soloists, choir, and ensemble.
Performers:
Lisa Fornhammar, soprano
Elin Karlström, soprano
Dan Karlström, Tenor
Lucia Ensemble
Emilia Lappalainen, viola
Joonatan Lappalainen, percussion
Christian Hornef, piano
