After recent years' very popular workshops for choral singers in the DR Koncerthuset, we are pleased to be able to welcome you to another evening of choral music, where you, together with the DR Vocal Ensemble's professional singers, will help interpret one of the most famous works for choir and orchestra: Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.

Come and Sing Carmina Burana

DR Koncerthuset

How does it sound when you gather choral singers of many different levels for a whole day of intense workshop on one of choral literature's most beloved works?

Singing together is something special. And when an experienced conductor and host leads the way, you can at the same time learn something new about the Danish songs we know so well - and maybe even add a few new ones to the repertoire.

Come and sing - Danish seasonal songs

One of the fixed traditions of Christmas is Copenhagen Phil's performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio . So forget gift shopping and Christmas hustle and bustle for a few hours and instead follow Copenhagen Phil and the Copenhagen Boys' Choir to Bach's wonderful Christmas world.

Christmas is a busy time for everyone – even for a composer like Johann Sebastian Bach in the 1730s. He is not only responsible for all music in Leipzig's churches and for the teaching of the students at the affiliated school – he also has to write new music for the many holidays. And in the midst of an everyday life that would have given most people stress in a single week, Bach writes some of the greatest masterpieces of Western civilization.
