The Church's City Mission's Christmas concert in Vår Frue church
The Church's Bymission Christmas concert in Vår Frue is a little different from many other Christmas concerts. The concert is part of the "Gled en som gruer seg til Christmas" campaign, and the income from the concert goes to the work in Vår frue – open church. As in previous years, we are lucky enough to have a group of string players from the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and Opera on the team.
The main artists this year are Solveig Slettahjell and Tord Gustavsen. In 2008, they went to Bethlehem and recorded the critically acclaimed album "Natt i Betlehem" in the Church of the Nativity. Since then, they have given an exclusive number of Christmas concerts every year, where they deliver very personal interpretations of some of our finest Christmas carols. Aftenposten wrote in its review that the three musicians show a deep sensitivity to the message of Christmas.
This year we have also brought Trond Helge Johnsen with us. Last year he released the song "Tenk å få lov", which is about the fact that it is possible to enjoy Christmas, after all. The Trondhjem artist, who grew up in Bergen, has gotten under the skin of a large Trønder audience with songs about rough life, with naked, good lyrics.
Welcome to a different Christmas concert!
