    A lovely way to spend a snowy evening

    KarenCranitch, Mar 2026
    The church is simply beautiful with high ceilings and timber details. The musicians were very talented, using a variety of instruments, performing a variety of pieces from a variety of genres. We enjoyed this experience very much

    the musicians and soloist were excellent the music was very subdued we were just arriving that day to tromso and it was a good reason to brave the cold and rainy weather

    Beautiful concert

    Val_H, Jan 2026
    Concert was so emotionally moving it will stay in our memory forever. We felt we started to get to know Norwegian culture. We’re so glad we went on a stunning snowy night as it added to the magical experience.

    The music is what you're there for

    Christine_J, Jan 2026
    First time the event coordinator was unaware of our tickets and denied us entry. Zero signs telling you that the concert was happening and which door to use. They placed a sign directly in front of the door as if they were closed. It was a tad stoic at times, as if you shouldn't be there

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. As always, the concert took place in the yellow wooden church in the city centre. If you would like to tell us a little more about your experience, please get in touch with us. Best regards, Best Arctic

    This was a great ending...

    STEVEN_A, Mar 2025
    This was a great ending to our week in Tromso. The young woman singing had a beautiful voice. The organist/pianist and oboe/saxophone players were excellent and really filled the Cathedral with harmony.

    Midnight Concert Tromso

    Debra_T, Mar 2025
    Beautiful music in a beautiful church. Lovely concert with talented musicians. Peaceful. Would recommend.

    Great, Ethereal Performance

    Jade_T, Jan 2025
    Midnight concert but you have to be there at 10:45. Ensures good seating. Decided to do this concert on my first night in Tromso and it was everything I imagined and more. The singer had a beautiful, soprano voice, and the sax player and pianist, who accompanied her were amazing, as well. The concert was very relaxing and actually got me a bit emotional. The acoustics in the cathedral were amazing. The entire concert lasted about 30 minutes. I highly recommend this concert to anyone who loves music.

    Fantastic experience

    Saffron_M, Dec 2024
    Incredible experience. So so talented! Such a beautiful setting and fantastic acoustics, very atmospheric and moving. We had a mixture of Christmas Carols, mostly scandi which were beautiful bur also some English/French/German. I’d highly recommend, great price too!

    Beautiful experience

    Carolina_T, Dec 2024
    The concert was really beautiful, and the artists were fantastic! The church is so nice; making the moment magic.

    Interesting experience

    Veronique_O, Jan 2024
    Very nice concert and great to experience it in an historic monument. I liked the fact that the singers and musicians stated to perform in different area of the cathedral, to have this sound effect. The concert was quite short though. and we had no introduction on the music played (background on the pieces of artist).

    Unique concert

    Susanne_S, Mar 2026
    Get involved in the great performance. Allow enough time, even the encore may receive attention.

    Beautiful!

    daniela_m, Jan 2026
    The concert in the beautiful yellow cathedral in Tromsø lasted less than an hour and was wonderful! A singer, a lady at the piano and a saxophone player have taken us with great emotion into your Nordic history. Goose bumps and tears in the eyes included! I can heartily recommend this concert.

    Only then slows down goose bumps

    Stefan_P, Jan 2026
    Completely different than expected. I was thinking of playing the organ. It was much better. Piano, saxophones and hammer baritone. The encore was for me the perfect Hammer old long syne....

    Was a very nice mood for the Christmas season. The singer had a crystal clear and very powerful beautiful voice. The two musicians rounded it off wonderfully. Bravo to all three!
