Today, Tarja is officially starting the festive season with the first single of her upcoming live album “Christmas Together: Live at Olomouc and Hradec Králové 2019”.
With “Together” Tarja has chosen a very special song to start of the countdown to the new release. Not only is this the song on the album, which is packed with classy Christmas-classics, that has originally been written by Tarja, it is also the perfect outlook on “Christmas Live”.
This previously unreleased live album takes Tarja’s fans back to an atmospheric celebration and invites them to be a part of her always successful Christmas tours.

Once again, Tarja is bringing the festive season early with the reissue of her highly acclaimed Christmas album “From Spirits and Ghosts (Score for a dark Christmas)” on November 6.
Get ready for an extra dark Christmas this year!
Tarja brings the Christmas songs to a never before seen level, uniquely blending her classically trained voice with darker gothic influences. Utilizing the sound of a grand orchestra, the most successful Finnish solo artist puts a sinister spin on traditional songs.
“Christmas Together: Live at Olomouc and Hradec Králové 2019” is available as Bonus CD on the 2020 edition of “From Spirits And Ghost (Score For A Dark Christmas)”, which will be released on November 6th, as well as on the strictly limited LP Gatefold only in the official Tarja shop and Digital.
