Nielsen TURNS 150 – upcoming performance with the Danish Chamber Players
/in Uncategorised /by adminIn the coming months I will be performing my own transcriptions of two Carl Nielsen symphonic favourites together with The Danish Chamberplayers aka. Storstrøms Kammerensemble. The hymn-like and atmospheric piece Saga Dream together with the powerful Helios Overture from 1903. The programme will also include some of Nielsens most important musical ‘children/grand-children’ such as Vagn Holmboe and Per Nørgård. Looking very much forward!

Thanks to Oticon Fonden, Augustinus Fonden and Den Obelske Familiefond their support in realizing this unique instrument.
