Help set the musical fence posts in place once and for all when the audience gets the last word – because the two musical combatants, Hammer and Cilius, will not give an inch to each other. Spiteful remarks will fly through the air like blank projectiles, and the bragging rights of the rightful winner will be of Olympic dimensions when the two well-prepared communicators compete with symphonic cartridge belts, loaded to the breaking point with hits from the inexhaustible treasure trove of classical music.

Tivoli: The Music Duel with Hammer & Cilius – Birthday Concert

Tivolis Koncertsal

The concerts take place both at 13 and at 16, and it will be two very special concerts, because the orchestra has two fantastic soloists: Amalie Dollerup and Caspar Phillipson. Both are known not least for their good voices, but also from numerous films, TV series and plays.

Tivoli / Lawn concert Sankt Hans

Tivoli Gardens

A musical meeting between a young musician and a seasoned conductor: The Danish clarinetist August Finkas and the German conductor Christoph Eschenbach. Together they perform Mozart's clarinet concerto, and the program also includes two immortal Beethoven works: the Leonora Overture  and Beethoven's  Symphony of Destiny.

The Maestro and Beethoven in Tivoli

Tchaikovsky's last symphony, Pathetique , is one of the most moving and enigmatic farewells in music history. The young Mozart also composed with a touch of melancholy in his Symphony No. 29.
