Holmen's Church was filled to almost the last seat, when Minister for Church Affairs Morten Dahlin invited everyone in the Danish Parliament to a Christmas concert with artists from all over the country on Wednesday, December 3. Among the audience were several members of Parliament.
The event was opened by the Danish university choir "lille MUKO", who sang a potpourri of several Christmas carols.
Nina Kreutzmann Jørgensen was invited from Greenland. She sang "Silarsuaq Takuiuk" and "Naluara".
From the Faroe Islands came Teitur with the songs "Højens Top", "Nú brestur á vid vesturætt" and "Utrolighedens frø".
The concert ended with "Beautiful is the Earth", where the first verse was sung in Faroese, the second verse in Greenlandic and the third verse by everyone in the church in Danish.
The concert, which lasted an hour, was conducted by Ole Faurschou, while Holmens Kirke's regular organist Jakob Lorentzen sat at the keys.
