About the concert

Conductor: Øyvind Bjorå The Christmas Gospel has become a beloved tradition at Kilden, where words and music remind us of the true message of Christmas. This year's concert will be a proper choir festival, with the cathedral's boys' and girls' choirs, Kristiansand Operakor and Kilden's own songbirds taking part. The new initiative Kilden Ung Vokal gives the world premiere of a commissioned work for youth choir and orchestra by Kim André Arnesen. True to tradition, we invite the audience to sing along to some of the best-known and best-loved Christmas melodies. This year we are collaborating with the Red Cross, which shares the Christmas message's focus on care, community and charity.
