About the concert

DR Symfoniorkestret turns up the magic and miracles of Christmas with symphonic hits and soundtracks from beloved Christmas films such as Love Actually, The Holiday, Home Alone and The Polar Express - with Maria Lucia, DR Juniorkoret and host Peter Mygind. An atmospheric prelude to the Christmas month on the grandest scale - live in the Concert Hall. There is music that can make us believe in miracles. Music that brings back memories from cinemas and favourite seats at home in the TV room - and the very special atmosphere that arises when December knocks on the door and generations come together around shared experiences. With this atmospheric prelude to the month of December, DR Symfoniorkestret and guests invite you to a concert where the magic of Christmas and wintertime unfolds for full orchestra in the Concert Hall - from the familiar sounds of The Nutcracker to film classics such as Love Actually, The Holiday, Home Alone and The Polar Express. Look forward to experiencing the biggest Christmas hits and iconic moments from the best Christmas films, interpreted by a large symphony orchestra and Maria Lucia's expressive voice. The young singers of DR Juniorkoret give the music an extra beautiful sound, and the evening is tied together by the actor Peter Mygind, who with his infectious Christmas joy guides the audience through the concert. Welcome to a concert that is guaranteed to lift you out of everyday life and the November gloom, so that you float out of the Concert Hall - ready for a December full of music, magic and small and big miracles.
