The St. Olai Vocal Ensemble and Chamber Orchestra, for the 11th year in a row, will perform Handel's Messiah in the Cathedral, together with 4 star soloists. Messiah is a dramatic story in three parts about the salvation story on which Christianity is based. Jubilant choral movements and arias sing about the newborn child, and the Savior's suffering is illustrated by string attacks sharp as whiplashes. The victory of good is celebrated at the end of the 2nd part through the famous "Hallelujah chorus". The 3rd part concludes the work with the "trumpet aria" and monumental choral movements. This year's soloists are Cassandra Lemoine, soprano, Stephen Yeseta, countertenor, David Danholt, tenor, Albin Ahl, bass.

Messiah concert

Saint Olai Church

We are pleased that Concerto Copenhagen has once again prioritized putting on one of their much-visited Christmas concerts with us in Helsingør Cathedral. This year's Christmas concert with Concerto Copenhagen unites Johann Sebastian Bach's festive Christmas cantatas with Selma Lagerlöf's touching Christ Legends - a musical meeting between heaven and earth, the sublime and the human. With the sparkling instruments of the Baroque and Lagerlöf's adventurous narrative voice, a very special atmosphere is created that goes straight to the heart - because the premise of Lagerlöf's stories is that the divine can never be reached with reason or reason, but through imagination, art and the life lived. The program includes 3 of JS Bach's evocative cantatas written for Christmas Day, Christmas Sunday and Epiphany. Actor Emil Knutzon will read Lagerlöf's Christ Legends between the cantatas. Concerto Copenhagen with soloists will once again deliver a Christmas concert in a special class this year.
