Be seduced by the timeless fairy tale that strikes deep into the conscience of modern people when award-winning Trio con Brio Copenhagen and Søren Sætter-Lassen present The Little Prince . 
The philosophical, humorous and enchanting story is put in a new light when music and theater meet in Trio con Brio Copenhagen and Søren Sætter-Lassen's interpretation of The Little Prince. 

The Little Prince is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's tale of a child who comes from asteroid B612 and leaves his beloved rose to embark on a journey of education. Time and again, he is amazed by the adults he meets along the way, who are only interested in material things. 

The Little Prince

The Funen Opera

Music for memory - both literally and figuratively: We have gathered three composers whose music is based on memories.

Barber's Adagio is one of our strongest expressions of loss – and of the community's grief for those who are no longer with us.

Trio con Brio has been beloved guests at Birkam's concerts for many years. The ensemble was founded in Vienna during the three musicians' stay there in 1999, but is now based in Copenhagen. The trio consists of sisters Soo-Jin Hong, violinist, and Soo-Kyung Hong, cellist, both born in South Korea.

In 2024, the Trio con Brio Copenhagen celebrated its 25th stage anniversary: ​​a quarter-century of ensemble history, during which the three have delighted audiences with their characteristic blend of harmonious interplay and instrumental perfection. They have already demonstrated their talent in Duisburg, too, in the 2022/2023 season with works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert, among others. This time, the program features Lili Boulanger, one of the most gifted composers of her time: she was the first woman ever to win the famous Rome Prize before her tragically early death from tuberculosis at the age of 24. However, she was still able to complete a pair of unlikely works for trio: one, "D'un matin de printemps," full of enchanting spring colors and hope, the other, "D'un soir triste," full of despair and melancholy. The only piano trio by Maurice Ravel follows in a cheerful and relaxed manner, in which the composer plays with sophisticated sound mixtures and intricate rhythms, while Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Piano Trio No. 2 strikes a particularly passionate tone and is, as the composer himself remarked, "a bit nauseating to play."
