Stockholm Voices returns to Fasching with Christmas Time Is Here, a brand-new holiday album packed with lush harmonies, jazz tradition and wintery warmth.

Recognised as Sweden’s leading vocal jazz group, the quartet blends precision, soul and playful elegance in every phrase. Backed by a superb live band, they breathe new life into classic American Christmas songs, from intimate ballads to swinging vocal arrangements bursting with energy and style.

Bohuslän Big Band is a Swedish jazz orchestra that upholds and challenges the big band genre. Fearless and exploratory, they engage in collaborations with breadth and great variation. Over the years, they have performed with international jazz giants such as Gregory Porter, Joe Lovano, John Beasley, Vince Mendoza, Maria Schneider, and Nils Landgren. Since 2004, Bohuslän Big Band has been part of Vara Concert Hall.

This is vocal jazz at its most festive: a holiday concert full of light, rhythm and vocal brilliance.
