BrassUnit and Arvid Eriksson present A Nordic Christmas Tale — a Christmas concert and musical story set on a chilly Christmas morning in the Nordic landscape.
During the concert, we journey from morning to evening, from snow-covered forests to the warmth and cosiness of a Nordic cottage, and from the winter cold to the warmth of Christmas.
A Nordic Christmas Tale is also an inner journey through our memories and a reflection on what Christmas could be.
BrassUnit and Arvid Eriksson invite you to a captivating concert featuring classical Nordic Christmas music for brass quintet and baritone.
Come experience the magic of Christmas music live and celebrate the release of our new Christmas album with us!
