LondonSwedes' Lucia 2026 - Guest Performance by Jill Johnson

Every December, Swedes gather to celebrate
Lucia, one of the country’s most beloved
traditions - a beautiful tradition with choir music, a procession
of light, and togetherness that brightens the darkest time of the
year.

At the heart of the celebration is the Lucia
procession, a candlelit choir dressed in flowing white
gowns, led by Lucia herself, crowned with candles
and radiating light. The singers perform a magical line-up of
traditional Swedish (and English) carols and harmonies to celebrate
Saint Lucia.

For Swedes, Lucia is more than a concert - it’s a moment of calm
and reflection, a symbol of community and warmth during the long
winter nights.

The LondonSwedes Lucia concerts have become a
cherished tradition in London since 2016, hosted in stunning venues
such as the 450-year-old Speech Room at Harrow School, the mystical
Asylum Chapel in Peckham, the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith, and the
Royal College of Music.

Led by Choir Director Michaela Lundin,
The LondonSwedes Choir returns this December for two
unforgettable performances filled with candlelight, choral beauty,
and a touch of Swedish culture.

The events are open to all, regardless
of nationality, and they offer a unique opportunity for both Swedes
and non-Swedes to come together and celebrate the holiday season in
a truly Swedish way. It is a chance to experience the warmth and
charm of Swedish tradition, as well as to connect with the Swedish
community in London.

This year’s
LondonSwedes Lucia welcomes a true Swedish icon: Jill Johnson
✨

Jill
Johnson is one of Sweden’s most beloved artists and, after more
than 30 years in the spotlight, is still at the peak of her
creativity. Known as the “Queen of Country,” she has played a major
role in putting country music and Nashville on the Swedish map
through her music, acclaimed tours and the award-winning SVT
series Jill’s Veranda, Nashville.

A Swedish Grammy Award winner and platinum-selling artist, Jill has
collaborated with some of Nashville’s most renowned songwriters and
artists throughout her career. Her deep connection to Nashville has
also inspired Jill’s Round, her own live songwriter
concept, bringing the intimate spirit of Nashville’s legendary
songwriter rounds to Swedish audiences.

Jill’s contribution to Swedish music has been recognized with
several major honours, including a medal from the King of Sweden,
awarded with the motivation: “For outstanding artistic
achievements, primarily in music and stage
performance.”

Today, Jill continues to write, record and tour, with new music and
a renewed creative energy. With her unmistakable voice, love of
country music and decades of experience, she remains one of
Sweden’s most cherished and compelling live artists.
