Discover the Warmth of a Scandinavian Christmas: A Festive Concert Experience

This holiday season, embrace the magic of Scandinavian and American Christmas traditions as only "Glad Jul" brings it together the way it does for the first time in the United States. Our Norwegian/Scandinavian Christmas Concert invites you on a musical journey through the beauty of the winter season, blending cherished traditional carols with modern festive music from both sides of the Atlantic.

From the rich, soulful harmonies of Norwegian Christmas hymns to the lively, joyful rhythms of American holiday favorites, this concert is a celebration of the shared spirit of Christmas. Whether you're drawn to the serene glow of Nordic winter nights or the festive sparkle of American holiday cheer, this concert will fill your heart with warmth and light.

"Glad Jul" was created and produced by Norwegian cultural producer Halvor Haukerud and Motarbeider AS. Since its debut in 2012, the concert has grown to become a significant cultural event, combining local and regional storytelling traditions with world-class musical performances. The concert's emphasis on community, positivity, and collaboration reflects Scandinavian values, and its high artistic integrity has earned it recognition beyond borders.

This December, Glad Jul will make its highly anticipated U.S. debut at Trinity Lutheran Church in Stillwater, MN. The event will feature world-renowned Norwegian artist Halvor Haukerud, alongside Stillwater native and internationally acclaimed tenor Jack Swanson, as well as the stunning soprano Katherine Henly and the talented Hanna Trondalen, whose captivating performances span the worlds of opera and musical theatre.

All Are Welcome:
At the heart of this performance is the spirit of togetherness. We invite people of all backgrounds to experience the universal joy of the holiday season. Let the music carry you through the darkest months with its message of hope, love, and connection.

Join Us at Trinity Lutheran Church in Stillwater, MN on December 21, 2024 at 3:00 pm as we create new memories, blending tradition with contemporary sounds in a festive atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of Christmas—both near and far. This concert is more than music; it's an invitation to gather, reflect, and find warmth in the holiday spirit we all share.
