This Christmas, the VU Koor invites you to a warm and festive evening that tells the story of young girl Seren and her little brother Ben in “The guiding star”. Written by VU Koor member Meritxell Malet Alcoverro, this story follows two young siblings on their journey through a winter night, guided by a mysterious, singing star. Along the way, they encounter moments of wonder, hope, and music that connect them to the universal story of love, faith, and renewal embodied in the Nativity. Through song and light, Seren learns that even in the coldest darkness, voices joined in harmony can guide hearts home.

Accompanied by Christmas music from all around the world, this evening will not just be a concert, but an artistic blend of storytelling, live music and choir singing – all performed by VU Koor members. The perfect way of getting into the holiday spirit!
