1245 10th Ave E, Seattle

The wonderful Christmas traditions in the Nordic countries truly make December fun and memorable. Many of those traditions are observed here in America. The music, often based on folk songs, is charming. Scandinavian national music, often based on folk songs, blends cheer and melancholy into a unique sound. Perhaps this reflects the extremes of their climate: a midnight sun at midsummer and darkness at midwinter.

We will present a broad range of music from this culture, from simple folksong arrangements to sophisticated classical settings of traditional and modern texts.In their wish for light and warmth, Scandinavians really know how to brighten the darkest time of year!
