Julekonserten


Julekonserten was a Norwegian Christmas concert which was held every year between 1989 and 1999. Julekonserten toured in Scandinavia, and visited cities in Norway, Sweden and Denmark with a mix of Scandinavian artists. The long list of artists and performers includes Sissel Kyrkjebø, The Chieftains, Oslo Gospel Choir, Triple & Touch, Rune Larsen, Tor Endresen and Kurt Ravn. Every year Julekonserten was also broadcast on Television in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Stageway AS arranged these concerts and a part of the money went to aid children on the street in La Paz and Santa Cruz in Bolivia.
Two CDs were released from their concerts, Julekonserten and Julekonserten 10 år. A rare recording of Sissel Kyrkjebø performing My Tribute with Oslo Gospel Choir at Julekonserten 1997 in Gjøvik can be found on the 1998 compilation album The Best of Sissel.
