Göteborgs Konserthus Culture Night: When Christmas or a Crisis hits

Suddenly it's December. The last Culture Night of the year is a conversation on the best way to get through the holiday season without panic. With Johan Hilton and Klara Zimmergren.

Concert length: 1 h 15 min no intermission Stage: Stenhammarsalen
100 SEK

Christmas — the coziest holiday of the year… and at the same time the year’s biggest cause of stress. It brings mulled wine, togetherness, and festive cheer, but also extended family, expectations, and panic three days before Christmas Eve.

Tonight, Johan Hilton talks to actor Klara Zimmergren about all of that—the wonderful parts, the trying moments, and the things we’d rather not admit we relate to.

What does Christmas do to us? How do we get through it and find ourselves looking forward to the next one? Or perhaps… we don’t actually have to look forward to Christmas?

At Konserthuset’s culture evenings, we take a look at Gothenburg’s cultural life. With exciting guests and challenging ideas, we look beyond the borders and see the possibilities. Join us too. The conversation is led by Johan Hilton, author and cultural director at GP.

Wednesday 9 December 2026: The event ends at approx. 20.15
