Lucia concerts in Stockholm

Stockholm City Voices are back. This year they're holding a sparkling Lucia concert and Christmas show at beautiful Eric Ericsonhallen. Walk out to Skeppsholmen in the winter darkness and get into the Christmas spirit with old and new favourites. You can buy festive snacks in the interval.

At Stockholm's very own open-air museum and zoo, Lucia is celebrated over two days, in the traditional manner. In Seglora Church, you can enjoy atmospheric Lucia concerts with Stockholm Music Gymnasium, Stockholm University Choir, and En Kör. In the Order House, the celebrations are reminiscent of the 1920s, with children from Spektrum Choir performing Lucia concerts. The concerts are included in the day ticket or annual pass, and the number of places is limited.

At Oscarskyrkan, Oscar's Mini choirs and the Children and Youth Choirs invite you to traditional and atmospheric Lucia concerts featuring well-known songs. The concerts will be performed on four occasions: two on Lucia Day itself, and two the weekend before, with the latter two particularly aimed at families with younger children.

On the 7th of December, Berwaldhallen puts on a classic Lucia celebration with a harmonious atmosphere for the whole family. They promise traditional, well-loved advent and Lucia songs along with contemporary favourites, sung by Nacka music students and guest artist Bo Sundström. A concert filled with well-loved advent songs, modern favourites and a peaceful festive atmosphere.

Experience a traditional Lucia concert known as "Good evening, gentlemen!" This year, Adolf Fredrik Girls' Choir will perform at Engelbrekt Church, promising a truly atmospheric evening filled with clear voices and twinkling lights.

At Kungsholms Church, Lucia is celebrated with a traditional Lucia concert and atmospheric songs performed by the Cantate Chamber Choir and the Ulrika Eleonora Girls' Choir. The beautiful 17th-century church adds that little extra to the atmosphere.

The magnificent Great Hall at Nordiska Museet becomes even more splendid when Lucia and her procession spread festive cheer and musical joy. This year, Adolf Fredrik's music classes and the Lux string quartet will be offering a mix of children's voices, resonant youth choirs, and atmospheric melodies. Combine with a winter walk in Djurgården for an extra cosy feeling.

The Lucia celebrations in the Old Town's Storkyrkan draw in large crowds each year. The beloved Lucia songs are performed by various children's and youth choirs, among them the St Jacobs vocal ensemble and Storkyrkan's chamber choir. Experience Storkyrkan's medieval mystique and advent magic.

At Sofia Church in Södermalm, there will be two different Lucia concerts. First up are the parish's children's choirs and the female choir Cantores Sofiae performing on 6 December, and on Lucia day itself there will be a Christmas play and Lucia procession with the church's children- and youth choirs. 

On Lucia Day, Nalen's jazz brunch will be visited by a Lucia procession that serenades the historic Stora Salen with sweet music. There will also be jazz music performed by the restaurant's big band while guests enjoy brunch served to the table, featuring dishes such as tacos in lettuce leaves with chickpea croquettes, cold-smoked salmon with hollandaise and poached egg on brioche, and several desserts. Of course, both cocktails and bubbles will be available for those who wish to toast with something festive.

Beautiful Katarina Church in Södermalm is putting on an atmospheric concert with the parish's children's and youth choirs spreading light and warmth in the December darkness.

Forsgrénska Badet invites you to a slightly different Lucia procession – namely a swimming one. The children and young people of the Neptune Swimming Club's Synchronised Swimming Section will be providing the Lucia spirit, in the form of a swimming train with live candles and an artistic swimming show. A bit unusual but oh so atmospheric.

Bank Hotels restaurant Bonnie's celebrates Lucia all day, featuring a traditional Lucia procession that spreads Christmas magic in the grand dining room. Enjoy a luxurious breakfast, brunch or a specially prepared three-course dinner accompanied by classic Lucia songs. The Lucia celebration is popular, so be sure to book a table in advance. 

In the magnificent Blue Hall of Stockholm City Hall, some 300 music students from Stockholm Music gymnasium and Kungsholmen gymnasium will be putting on a glittering Lucia performance. They'll be singing traditional Lucia songs as well as international Christmas music in historic surroundings.  

French-inspired Brasserie Makalös invites you to a festive Lucia breakfast this year. In swanky surroundings right next to Kungsträdgården, you can enjoy a generous breakfast with everything from croissants and smoothies to salmon and pickled herring, while the classic Lucia songs are performed. It doesn't get much cosier than this to start Lucia Day.

Essinge Church is hosting a Lucia concert specifically tailored for families with very young children. On 15th December, children and their adults can join the procession and sing classic Lucia and Christmas songs together – preferably dressed in traditional Lucia gowns. Afterwards, there will be refreshments.
