Nordic Christmas: Blum & Haugaard

Singer and songwriter Helene Blum, together with violinist and composer Harald Haugaard, have distinguished themselves as some of the finest interpreters and innovators of the rich and vibrant Nordic cultural heritage.

Since 2007, they have let the music, traditions and stories of Christmas unfold in an annual Nordic Christmas tour, where their own songs and compositions meet original interpretations of old shows, hymns and dance music in a timeless universe that at once sounds recognizable and but very refreshing. For these concerts, the Nordic Christmas concert unfolds in a large format, when Sønderjylland's Symphony Orchestra meets the two folk musicians under the direction of Phillip Faber.

The tree has been erected, the decorations have been put up, the strings have been tuned, and everyone is invited to a Nordic Christmas party with light and life and with the hope that the calm and beauty of the concert carries the echo of the heart into the busy Christmas season.

The program is delicately tied together by orchestral movements by well-known Nordic composers.
