Sankta Lucia in Dublin

A festival of Swedish Culture.

A celebration of darkness into light.

Announcement from the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Ireland

It is with deep regret that the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Ireland announces that we will not be able to stage a Sankta Lucia concert this year together with our dear friends from Adolf Fredrik’s Chamber Choir.

Over the years, the Chamber has built a wonderful relationship with the choir, and many of its members have travelled to Dublin for this occasion for more than a decade. The annual Lucia concert in Christ Church Cathedral has become an important and much-loved part of the Christmas calendar for our loyal supporters. We are especially grateful to those members of the Chamber who have supported the concert financially — in some cases for nearly 15 years.

Unfortunately, in recent years the costs and risks associated with organising the concert have grown significantly. The result is that the running of the event is no longer sustainable. With the greatest regret, the Chamber has therefore taken the difficult decision not to proceed with the concert.

Adolf Fredrik’s Chamber Choir will, of course, continue to bring joy through their wonderful music. We warmly encourage anyone visiting Stockholm to seek out a performance in Adolf Fredrik’s Church, where the choir regularly shares their remarkable talent in a truly beautiful setting.

The Chamber remains committed to an active programme of events promoting its members, Swedish business, and Sweden. We are always eager to hear of new ideas.
