During the winter solstice of 2023 we will broadcast the traditional ambient night from December 21, 11:00 PM to December 22, 7:00 AM.
At the winter solstice we close the road to the shortest day and take the road towards the new light. We do this by celebrating it extensively during the following holidays, and chase away evil spirits during New Year’s Eve. Then we will face a new year.
During the ambient night, at exactly 4:28 am, winter begins. Winter Solstice tells an eight hour long story with ambient music. The programme is already in its fifth edition and is a collaboration between four different programme makers:
