The largest orchestra in the Faroe Islands invites both children and adults to the fantastic Christmas and family concerts. The symphony orchestra performs beautiful Faroese and foreign Christmas melodies. There is usually strong demand for these family concerts, so this year, too, four concerts are scheduled – two on Saturday and two on Sunday. The Christmas and Family Concert is arranged in collaboration with the Music School. Here, students have the opportunity to play together with the best musicians in the country. Soloists  The soloists this year are Sólja Rye, who plays the violin, and Ásgerð Stenberg Olsen, who plays the flute. They will perform Méditation and Romance in D♭ by the French composers Jules Massenet and Camille Saint-Saëns, respectively. Large children's and youth choir  The children's and youth choirs participating in the concert this year are Stella, Aurora and the Youth Choir from Tórshavnar Musikkskúli, the Children's Choir of the Music School in Vágar and the Children's Choir of Nes Sóknar Musikkskúli. The singers are between 10 and 18 years old, and they sing well-known Faroese Christmas carols. The choir directors are Edith Dahl Jakobsen, Katrin á Borg Johannesen, Joanna Johansen, Ásbjørn Berthelsen and Sigrið Sivertsen. A warm welcome to a cozy Christmas concert. Conductor: Catherine Larsen-Maguire Soloists: Sólja Rye (violin) and Ásgerð Stenberg Olsen (flute)

Look forward to magnificent music, a festive atmosphere, and unforgettable moments as the Faroese Symphony Orchestra invites you to this year’s New Year’s Concert, featuring choir and soloists Heiðrun Petersen and Regin Guttesen. The concert will be the first New Year’s Concert at the Nordic House conducted by Catherine Larsen-Maguire. Regin, Heiðrun, and Blak This year, the Symphony Orchestra has invited composer and pianist Regin Guttesen back to the Faroe Islands to perform with the orchestra. The orchestra will play two pieces from Regin’s album Momento, released in 2016. Kristian Blak has composed a new work for orchestra and violin for the occasion, which will receive its world premiere performance by violinist Heiðrun Petersen. The Faroese people have a great love for choral singing, and nothing is more magnificent than when a choir and symphony orchestra take the stage together. We look forward to sharing two wonderful evenings with you, and yes, of course, there will be traditional marzipan ring cake (kransekage) and a glass of refreshments during the intermission — “same procedure as every year, James.” Catherine Larsen-Maguire will conduct the Faroese Symphony Orchestra, and Tóra Vestergaard will conduct the choir. The concert will be broadcast live on Faroese television on Saturday, January 9, 2027. The auditorium doors open at 7:00 PM. The concert begins at 7:30 PM.
