Julekonserten
1999 live album; various artists
Julekonserten was a Norwegian Christmas concert held annually from 1989 to 1999. The concert toured throughout Scandinavia, visiting cities in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, and featured a mix of prominent Scandinavian artists. Among the performers were Sissel Kyrkjebø, The Chieftains, Oslo Gospel Choir, Triple & Touch, Rune Larsen, Tor Endresen, and Kurt Ravn. Each year, the concerts in Oslo and Gjøvik were broadcast on television in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Stageway AS organized these concerts and a part of the money went to support street children in La Paz and Santa Cruz in Bolivia.
Two CDs were released from their concerts, Julekonserten (1996) and Julekonserten 10 år (1999). A rare recording of Sissel Kyrkjebø performing My Tribute (To God Be The Glory) with Oslo Gospel Choir at Julekonserten 1997 in Gjøvik, can be found on the 1998 compilation album, The Best of Sissel.
