Kamerkoor Ilmatar - De langste nacht

During the Christmas concert, The Longest Night, Chamber Choir Ilmatar celebrates the birth of light in the weeks of the winter solstice. On December 15 (around the Lucia festival) and December 21 (midwinter) they sing about the hope for a new spring and the birth of light, in music from Western, Northern and Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

The music moves with the birth of light: from quiet and soft to festive and exuberant at the end of the concert. From mystical sounds from 16th century England to modern folk music from Norway, and from sometimes thousands of years old folk songs from Romania, Czech Republic and Kurdistan to contemporary compositions by Valentin Silvestrov, Cecilia McDowall and Ola Gjeilo. In all kinds of guises and from different religions and rituals, the music moves through the silent (and holy) night in which the light is born.

Be welcome to a surprising Christmas concert, that makes you long for the holy nights and the new year. A concert where the light is literally lit.
