Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Anna Stadling brought their sparkling Christmas success to Sweden’s churches<\/h3>\n

“A perfect balance between the Christmassy and wintery melancholy” and “A Christmas concert that wraps the heart in lamb’s wool”. Praise poured in for Helen and Anna Stadling’s Christmas tour Snow & Marshals<\/em> in the winter of 2022 and 2023. Now we are happy to announce that the duo will return with a new tour this Christmas as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the press release<\/h4>\n

Helen and Anna were born a day apart at the same BB in Sundsvall and they got to know each other at school and in the choir they both sang in. Through music a strong friendship developed that followed them through all the years and the duo they created as teenagers has re-emerged in different rounds and after almost 40 years of friendship and musical meetings, Helen and Anna have collected the songs they loved and lived with every Christmas.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 We are so happy to go out into the December darkness again this year and also with two brand new songs to offer our audience. For the first time, we have written a song together ourselves and in collaboration with Peter Kvint who also produced. The fact that we also got a brand new translation of Abba’s old song The Way old Friends do by none other than Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus himself of course feels fantastic.<\/em><\/p>\n

With this tour, we want to return to places where we started our Christmas tradition when young, in churches and cultural centers. Beautiful, atmospheric rooms that themselves create magic. It will also be a more close and intimate way to perform our songs, but none the less powerful. Being able to celebrate Christmas together with our audience is a pure favor for us and we are so looking forward to meeting you all with new and old songs. We are happy to be part of all the voices of Christmas that have sung before us and that have taken us into or through the darkest of times right into Christmas.
