Dorsaf Hamdani is considered one of Tunisia's greatest voices. She has sung classical Arab-Andalusian music at the Cairo Opera, but has also worked with musicians from a variety of genres with equal passion. Above all, she is committed to sharing the cultural influences of her vocal art – these include, above all, the great singers of the Middle East: Umm Kulthum from Egypt, Asmahan from Syria, and Fairuz from Lebanon. Hamdani dedicated a very personal album to these three icons in 2011, which she now translates into a concert program.

Jonas H. Petersen, one of Denmark's best singers and songwriters, is back with new songs and gives a Christmas concert in an intimate duo format.

You can expect touching songs of high caliber and a very special presence when Jonas H. Petersen, alias Hymns from Nineveh, together with his producer, multi-instrumentalist Sebastian Autzen, lights a light in the winter darkness with his hymn-pop songs about faith and existence. 

In the fall of 2024, Hymns from Nineveh's seventh album, Parabler, was released, which Gaffa gave 5 stars with the words "Some of the best soul care heard on the Danish music scene in a long time." These are songs that Jonas wrote during a prolonged depression - songs that he himself needed to hear, and which therefore shine with faith, hope and love.
