VOCES8 & Pétur Sakari - Christmas Carols

Event information

Only the rows are numbered for this event. Individual seats are unnumbered. Concert duration approximately 75 minutes No interval VOCES8 -- one of the world's most acclaimed vocal groups -- returns to Helsinki alongside virtuoso organist Pétur Sakari. Their previous concert at Helsinki Music Centre sold out and became a sensation in Finland's musical life. The concert at St John's Church is part of their Christmas tour of some of the Nordic countries' most prominent cathedrals. Pétur Sakari is a trusted regular collaborator of the ensemble, and his internationally acclaimed virtuosity and sensitivity complement VOCES8's exceptionally unified sound. The programme takes listeners on a journey from the British Christmas tradition to gems of the Renaissance and Baroque, Romantic works and moving contemporary compositions. The European cathedral acoustics of St John's Church create a unique and timeless atmosphere for the concert. The result is a blend of warmth, splendour and quiet contemplation -- a world-class Christmas concert in one of Helsinki's most beautiful churches.
