Jubilation under the Cathedral Arches
Time: 18:00–19:30

The concert producer MidAmerica returns to Uppsala Cathedral in the summer of 2026, bringing together the Stockholm Concert Orchestra, three international choirs, and four acclaimed soloists for an unforgettable musical experience.
This year’s concert is a powerful celebration of choral music. The program features Antonio Vivaldi’s "Magnificat", Ola Gjeilo’s beautifully resonant "Dreamweaver", and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s beloved "Coronation Mass". Audiences will also enjoy Georg Friedrich Händel’s majestic "Zadok the Priest" and Joseph Haydn’s jubilant "Te Deum".
