Stavanger Gospel Company’s Christmas concerts have become a highly cherished tradition. For the past 15 years, the choir, together with guest artists such as Carola, Ole Edvard Antonsen, Ingebjørg Bratland, Halvdan Sivertsen, Anita Skorgan, Sigvart Dagsland, Ole Paus, Heine Totland, Egil Svartdahl, Tomas Sjödin, and the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, have given audiences unforgettable experiences. From grand and majestic to intimate and minimalist. Laughter and tears. Packed concerts with up to 2,600 attendees have given both audience and artists a sense of closeness and atmosphere that can almost be touched. The concerts have become some of the most popular Christmas concerts in the Stavanger region.
This year, the choir will again hold its Christmas concert at the beautiful Frøyland Orstad Church—a venue they feel very much at home in. The theme for this year’s concert is “Longing”. Once again, the choir will be joined by wonderful guests, including the renowned Svein Tindberg and a large symphonic ensemble under the direction of Bjarte Mo from the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra.
Svein Tindberg is one of Norway’s most respected actors, performing at the National Theatre and on stages across the country. His successful performances, including The Gospel of Mark, The Acts of the Apostles, Children of Abraham, Esau and Jacob, and The God Particle, have sold out venues nationwide, seen by tens of thousands of people. A remarkable communicator, Tindberg is also an author and director.
Tindberg’s unique ability to convey emotion will leave its mark on the concert. With “Longing” as the theme, nothing suits the sensitive tones of the symphony better.
Stavanger Gospel Company—together with guests, band, and soloists—will offer the audience moments and experiences spanning the entire emotional spectrum, always with the message of Christmas at the centre. The repertoire ranges from traditional to newly composed Christmas songs.
