Sibelius' music draws the audience into another world. In his violin concerto, the soloist is like a shaman, telling eternally valid Nordic stories, passed down through generations. We are proud that the soloist in this performance is the DR Symphony Orchestra's new concertmaster, Ludvig Gudim.

Together with the CTM Festival, Unlimited invites you to Berghain, where Bára Gísladóttir is presenting her one-hour solo work Silva on contrabass. The work combines influences from a range of genres, from experimental music and heavy metal to noise, drone, techno and electronic. «Each sound in Silva comes from a contrabass,» says Gísladóttir. «The sounds were processed to different degrees and layered to create a mass of sound. Deep drones create thick, dark, almost oily layers, while the higher overtones surround the bleak centre like ascending, smoky yet light fog.»

British Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations are among the most beloved works of English music. The 14 variations are musical portraits of people from Elgar's own circle, whose identities are hidden behind titles, nicknames and enigmatic abbreviations. Elgar combines warmth, humour and refined portraiture in a work that alternates between fervor and brilliant timbre. Among them is the famous variation Nimrod , one of the most beloved slow movements in music history.
