Mayor of Roskilde

A meeting between East and West, past and present – ​​between the 7,000-year-old Chinese clay flute xun and the modern church organ. As the first ever, Jette Mogensen and Poul Høxbro have united these two instruments in new, expressive compositions, written by Jette for this unique constellation.



The concert ranges from delicate sounds to full-blown rumble, from minimalist lines to virtuosity. We hear organ solos, enchanting pieces for xun and organ, and flute echoes from distant times.



Jette Mogensen & Poul Høxbro – boundary-breaking musical pioneers

Jette Mogensen is a trained soloist organist and composer with a clear focus on renewal and innovation.

She has held positions in several major Danish churches and works versatilely with both classical and experimental chamber music. Her compositions are always written for organ – often in dialogue with choirs or solo instruments – and she is an active improviser who has participated in many concerts and projects both in Denmark and abroad. As the only Danish participant in the Nordic research project [re]thinking improvisation, she has helped to set new standards for organ improvisation in an artistic and research-based context.
