Philomela’s Christmas – Written in the Stars
In 2025, Philomela’s Christmas shines with light and hope. As per tradition, the program offers something old and familiar, and something entirely new. The concert will feature the Finnish premiere of selections from Norwegian composer Ørjan Matre’s work Stjernebru – Bridge of Stars. We aim to reach toward both history and the future, forging a warm connection with past and future generations. Through music, we build a bridge to the stars: to our shared dreams and wishes, and even to the heart’s most secret hopes.
Conductor: Anna Gallon
Violin: Maija Laurinsilta
Accordion: Anu Makkonen

Philomela’s Family Christmas – Journey Among the Stars
Philomela’s Family Christmas is a shorter, story-based concert (about 45 minutes) designed especially for families with children. Over the years, it has become a beloved Christmas tradition for many families. This year, the family concert follows the Christmas star, which twinkles in the church and leads Elf Makkonen, Scout Elf, and Granny Elf straight to the heart of Christmas – together with the audience and the Philomela choir. The Fox might even join the journey! During the concert, children are welcome to marvel, whisper, sing, and play along with the elves.
