II SEMF Christmas Edition
Welcome to an exclusive winter version of the festival, adapted to the cold season and Christmas celebrations, offering early music from afternoon to midnight! Indulge yourself with music, visual arts, storytelling, and historically inspired food.
Begin the day with Italian baroque, move on to medieval England and, later, the wonderful French performance "Monsieur Couperin's Laterna Magica." Round off the evening by lying comfortably back in the popular midnight concert.
A perfect recipe for heightening the winter atmosphere!
It’s never too cold for early music...
The programme may be subject to change.
Laterna Magica at Swedish TV Kulturnyheterna at 19.00 the 23th November

After the Baroque buffet, SEMF Christmas Edition continues with concerts which take place in smaller venues and are therefore performed twice. This means that there are two "routes" possible when navigating the evening's events. You can trace the two routes in the schedule below by looking at the colour of the background. Grey/beige background: 20.15-20.45 Storytelling 21.00-21.45 Early Late Night Concert: A Silent Night 22.00-23.15 Monsieur Couperin's Laterna Magica White background: 20.15-21.30 Monsieur Couperin's Laterna Magica 21.45-22.15 Storytelling 22.30-23.15 Early Late Night Concert: A Silent Night When you buy a festival pass (with or without Baroque buffet) you are automatically given tickets to the grey/beige background concerts. |
