Looking for a jazzy way to jingle your bells this holiday season? Mark your calendar for Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at 7:00 PM because two-time Grammy-winning violinist Mads Tolling is bringing his acclaimed show, Cool Yule: A Nordic Holiday Celebration, to the Kilaga Springs Presentation Hall in Sun City Lincoln Hills, Lincoln, California. This festive event is part of our Christmas Guide 2024, so you know it’s a must-see!
What’s Cool About Cool Yule?
Mads Tolling isn’t your average violinist. Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, and now based in the U.S., Tolling has a knack for blending the traditions of his Nordic roots with the vibrant energy of American jazz. In Cool Yule, he takes audiences on a musical journey that’s as cozy as a cup of hot cocoa by the fire (or, as the Danes say, full of “hygge”).
Joined by pianist Colin Hogan, Tolling will perform jazz renditions of holiday classics like Silent Night and Sleigh Ride. But that’s not all—he’ll also pay tribute to Denmark’s legendary storyteller Hans Christian Andersen with pieces inspired by The Snow Queen and The Little Match Girl. And let’s not forget Julemanden (the Danish Santa Claus) and Yuletide favorites from across Scandinavia and beyond. It’s a holiday celebration like no other!
