This year’s church music festival in the Diocese of Stockholm — Jubilate — highlights contemporary Norwegian church music by some of the country’s most significant composers — Petra Bjørkhaug, Knut Nystedt, Torbjørn Dyrud, and Kim André Arnesen — performed by the St. Matthew Chamber Choir, Adolf Fredrik Church Chamber Choir, and Gustavsberg Vocal Ensemble.
