Stambandet Jul Concert
Stämbandet, the Scandinavian Vocal Ensemble, invites you for a festive celebration of the Nordic holiday tradition.
Join us as we trace the snowy path through the winter season, from Advent to Lucia Day and Christmas and from then on to the magical “Trettondagen”, the days leading up to Twelfth Night. A musical odyssey brimming with warmth and joy for the whole family! There will be an Advent Fair with handmade ornaments, chocolate, paintings, handbags imported from India and other delights of the season! The concert will take place Sunday, December 7 at 4:30 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church, 107 Concord Rd. Wayland, Mass.
Founded in 1978, Stämbandet has a reputation for excellence both as an a cappella ensemble and a World Music vocal group. Presenting songs rarely heard outside of Iceland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden, this captivating vocal band often breaks into six- and seven- part harmonies sung in six languages. Led by Allen LeVines, musical director since 1985, Stämbandet performs a wide range of a cappella folk traditions unique to Scandinavia, including “trall” - singers imitating fiddlers playing dance music - a practice that has been compared to scat singing.
