It's time again to welcome the new year in the most festive way possible – both in the Concert Hall at the House of Music and around the region. This time Alexander Hanson will lead the fun from the conductor's podium, and this year's host is actor, lodge brother, etc. Henrik Kofoed, who will also take on a solo role together with Swedish soprano Susanna Andersson.

New Year's Concert 2026

Aalborg Central Waterfront

'Fête galante' means love feast and refers to the paintings that show the parties and excesses of the French nobility in the 18th century. In the popular Danish composer Poul Schierbeck's Fête galante, such a love fest gets out of control when Count René leads the young Suzon into the dark, and this has major consequences. Poul Schierbeck has written the melodies for some of the most popular Danish songs, including "I was born in Denmark", "Hør den lille stær" and "It's today a weather". The masterpiece Fête galante is his only opera.

Fête Galante

Odense Concert Hall

Women's voices are in demand in the 3rd decade of the 21st century. More than ever. This also applies in the concert hall, and on March 8, on women's day of struggle, the Odense Symphony Orchestra will let women speak in many different ways - both in the music and in a subsequent panel debate on the topic.

Women's Voices

Icelandic Anna Thorvaldsdottir is one of classical music's brightest superstars right now, and the Odense Symphony Orchestra has made a big splash by, together with the BBC Proms, San Francisco Symphony, Helsinki Philharmonic and Iceland Symphony Orchestra, commissioning a monumental cello concerto by the uncompromising sound designer. The work was premiered last year in the US and at the BBC Proms, and the review from there reads: “Thorvaldsdottir's new cello concerto, Before we fall , is a hit, both sonically and intellectually… Her sound world, delicate and massive at the same time, is like no other. And Johannes Moser plays throughout with both nerve-wracking splendor and fierce intimacy.”
