Description

Sunday begins with a service of music at Johanneskyrkan, where participants can pause, reflect, and enjoy the fine choral repertoire.

The service begins at 10.00 am on Sunday, directly after hotel breakfasts and before the children’s and youth choirs’ Young Voices concert and the PULS rhythm choir concert at Citizens’ Square.

Following along

The best way to experience the service is to calmly take a seat on a church pew and listen.

Johanneskyrkan

As a venue for a service of music, Johanneskyrkan offers acoustically optimal surroundings and is well worth a visit.
