Situated by the sea in central Helsingborg, Dunkers Cultural Center is a vibrant meeting place for all ages. Designed by Danish architect Kim Utzon – son of Sydney Opera House architect Jørn Utzon – the building's striking architecture includes a theatre, concert hall, and exhibition spaces housed within a "medieval castle"-inspired layout.
Thanks to the donation fund of industrialist Henry Dunker and his wife Gerda, the center opened in 2002 by Crown Princess Victoria. Today, it offers exhibitions on Helsingborg's history, contemporary art, performing arts, and interactive creative spaces for both youth and adults. With its open, inclusive atmosphere and a view of the strait, Dunkers invites choirs not only to perform but also to connect, reflect, and be inspired.

Located at Gustav Adolfs Square in central Helsingborg, Gustav Adolf Church is a striking neo-Gothic building with a 67-meter-high tower—a true landmark of the city.
Built in 1897 and renovated several times, the church offers a bright, spacious interior with excellent acoustics, a centrally positioned altar, and stained-glass windows by artists such as Nils Möller and G. Nordblad. The main organ, built in 1968 by Poul-Gerhard Andersen in Copenhagen, complements the venue's musical profile.
With its central location, rich history, and artistic features, the church is an inspiring stage for choir music in southern Sweden.

Sankta Maria Church is Helsingborg's oldest church and one of its most historically significant landmarks. Originally built in the 12th century in Romanesque style and transformed in the 15th century into a grand Gothic brick basilica, the church has long been a cultural and spiritual center. Its elevated nave, sandstone foundations, and striking stepped gable tower reflect the layered history of Scandinavian ecclesiastical architecture.
For choirs, Sankta Maria offers a deeply atmospheric setting enriched by centuries of musical tradition. In the 1600s, renowned composer Dietrich Buxtehude served as organist here, playing one of the church’s most notable historical organs. Today, choirs can perform beneath original 15th-century altarpieces, 17th-century Renaissance carvings, and 20th-century stained-glass windows by artists such as Einar Forseth and Erik Olson. With its excellent acoustics and reverent ambiance, Sankta Maria is a truly meaningful concert venue for sacred and choral music.
