They are considered one of Europe’s finest gospel choirs. Now you can experience an unforgettable evening with them in Herning, as Oslo Gospel Choir fills MCH Herning Kongrescenter on 29 November 2025 with wonderfully atmospheric and harmonious Christmas music. The choir’s Christmas concert A Star Shines Tonight offers the very best of gospel Christmas music and takes its name from a carol composed by conductor Tore W. Aas for the choir’s album Tusen Julelys (1992).
For over 30 years, Oslo Gospel Choir has filled churches and major concert halls in both Norway and abroad with exquisite music, broad smiles, and joyful spirit. The choir has given more than a thousand concerts and sold over 2 million albums, making them Norway’s best-selling artist during the 1990s.
The gospel choir from Norway’s capital has released 25 albums and collaborated on recordings with various artists, including Sissel Kyrkjebø, Plácido Domingo, and Stig Rossen.
An experienced gospel choir brings Christmas to life
Oslo Gospel Choir sets the standard in the gospel genre, and their Scandinavian sound makes them truly unique. The Norwegian gospel choir is led by Tore W. Aas, who also founded the choir in 1988. The choir, which has enjoyed great success in both Europe and the U.S., is inspired by the Black American gospel sound, with one of their major inspirations being the late American gospel singer Andraé Crouch. He brought gospel music out of churches and into new settings, reaching a broader audience. Andraé Crouch has performed with the choir and appeared on several of their albums.
The choir’s blend of gospel music and Christmas spirit is a recipe for emotional resonance, and when the singers’ voices merge into warm harmonies, the audience is swept away. The choir is one of Norway’s most beloved ambassadors of the Christmas message and spirit, and many Danes seize the chance to attend their concerts whenever they’re nearby.
Now it’s your chance to experience them. Let the peace of Christmas settle in and the holiday spirit take hold on the doorstep of December, and share a golden gospel moment with family and friends.
