Make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Let the busy world outside disappear and feel Roskilde Cathedral's large church room envelop you while you immerse yourself in meditative choral music with the DR Vocal Ensemble and deep cello sounds with solo cellist Richard Krug from the DR Symphony Orchestra.

Church of Our Lady

What happens when you get 3 cellos on a stage? How about 4? 8? Or even 12? Take advantage of a unique opportunity to hear complex, challenging, and masterful pieces that can only be played with a veritable choir of cellos.

Music Academy of the West

Among them, parallel trajectories echo each other with poignant force. Korngold and Schoenberg, two major figures in Viennese music, had to flee Nazism. The former found refuge in Hollywood where he revolutionized film music; the latter reconstructed his musical language in the United States. Their works bear the scars of this uprooting, between nostalgia and audacity. Pablo Casals and Roberto Gerhard, Spanish exiles, embody resistance through music. Casals, an opponent of Franco, transformed El cant dels ocells into a hymn of freedom. Gerhard, a disciple of Schoenberg, blended avant-garde and Catalan folklore in a unique style, shaped by his exile in England. Arvo Pärt, Olga Podgaiskaya, and Samir Odeh-Tamimi extend this reflection on wandering and creation. Pärt, forced to leave Soviet Estonia, found refuge in timeless music. Podgaiskaya and Odeh-Tamimi, heirs to these journeys, in turn question boundaries and shifting identities. An evening resonating with the echoes of a torn 20th century and the persistence of a beauty born of absence. A world concert where each note echoes a lost land, but also the hope of a new beginning.
