An Evening with Sissel

Powell Hall

Sissel Kyrkjebø is referred to as all of Scandinavia's Christmas queen and not without reason! For several decades she has toured to full houses in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. She herself sees the Christmas tour as one of the biggest highlights of the year. And although "Sissel's Christmas" has existed since 2013, she renews the concert from year to year:

"Since it is a Christmas and winter concert, it is natural to include some of the cultural treasures that we associate with Christmas and the cold season. At the same time, I want the concert to contain songs from our own time and even something completely new," says Sissel Kyrkjebø, and elaborates: "I want to create a new experience for the audience every year. My goal is that those who come to the concert get in the Christmas spirit, experience that the smile bands have been in action, and get some food for thought when they subsequently go out into the winter darkness.”

This year the premiere is in Skellefteå in northern Sweden on November 20, after which Sissel Kyrkjebø and her fantastic orchestra will travel through large parts of Sweden, Norway, and then finish the tour in Denmark until Christmas.
