True to tradition, Burhan G, together with the Danish Entertainment Orchestra, returns to the House of Music with his popular Christmas show - for young and old.

The show is a musical journey into the familiar tones, songs and hymns of the month of December.

"I am personally deeply grateful to be part of such a strong and beautiful Christmas tradition, as the concerts with the Danish Entertainment Orchestra have become between the audience and me. Christmas is a fairy tale. A familiar, but also new story that you write on year after year and throughout your life together with those you love and care about. We will do that again in December, and I am already looking forward to it." – Burhan G.
