Swiss Gospel Singers with Chris de Burgh

Description

Believe in Christmas! The Swiss Gospel Singers have dedicated their second album entirely to the magic of Christmas. They were accompanied by Chris de Burgh. After the successful CD launch at Stadtcasino Basel 2023, the around 100 singers under the direction of Christer Løvold are once again touring with the world star and preparing their audience for the Christmas season. Gospel literally means the good news, the joyful message. No wonder, then, that gospel music fits perfectly into the Christmas season. The Swiss Gospel Singers present in their concert series popular melodies and carols for Advent and Christmas, with texts from 7 centuries. Traditional, modern, contemplative, lively... Choir director Christer Løvold has rearranged the pieces especially for the choir. The concert program is sprinkled with hits by Chris de Burgh. For the first time ever, his Christmas songs are united on a CD. Since 2021, the world-famous Irish singer and composer and the Swiss Power Gospel Choir have maintained a musical friendship. De Burgh was the patron of the first album "Amazing Grace" and performed with the choir on the Swiss television show Happy Day as well as at two benefit concerts for the people in Ukraine. The CD "Believe in Christmas" is a collaborative work of the artists. And on the CD for the 50th stage anniversary of the Irishman, the Swiss Gospel Singers sing together with him "On this day." After their spectacular debut at Carnegie Hall in New York, the Swiss Gospel Singers delight their audience sometimes lively, energetic, fast-paced and playful, sometimes melancholic, emotional and gentle. Rhythmic, surprising, and with goosebumps guarantee. The choir is accompanied by its friends, great soloists, and musicians: Mélanie Wullschleger-Lacroix, Pau Figueres, Felix Klaus, Mark B. Lay, Petter Udland Johansen, Adam Taubitz, Costi Topalidis, and Alex Wäber. Seats at all concert venues are limited. Early reservation of tickets is recommended.
