There is music that can make us believe in miracles. Music that brings back memories from cinema halls and favorite seats at home in the TV room – and the very special atmosphere that arises when December knocks on the door and generations meet for shared experiences.

It's Actually Christmas

DR Koncerthuset

Christmas angels can both sing and play the trumpet – of course!

This year's soloists are two rising young singing stars who will make their debut at DR Koncerthuset: soprano Sofie Lund, Talent of the Year at the Copenhagen Opera Festival in 2024, and dramatic soprano Laura Helene Hansen, known from, among other things, the DR documentary The Next Diva .

New Year's Gala 2026

Beethoven expanded the scope of music and changed the role of musicians in society – forever. In 2027, the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death will be celebrated across Europe, and this evening you can experience his landmark Symphony No. 3 – more powerful, longer and more poignant than any previous work, and a piece of music that embodies ideas of heroism, freedom, endurance and willpower.

Honeck & Beethoven's 3rd.

Joyce DiDonato can rightly be described as a phenomenon. Her artistic format has secured her a place among the greatest in music, while her inspiring view of creativity has placed her at the center of discussions about the role of culture in society.

The DR Symphony Orchestra is shooting hard, and the good, the bad and the cruel face each other in another symphonic duel of epic dimensions with Morricone's legendary music from, among others, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly , Once Upon a Time in the West and A Fistful of Dollars .

The duel

Before writing his iconic Ninth Symphony, Ludwig van Beethoven created another colossal work for soloists, choir and orchestra that was even more seminal.

Popelka & Missa Solemnis

One of France’s greatest soloists meets one of the country’s finest composers. In 2023, Gautier Capuçon premiered a new cello concerto that Thierry Escaich wrote for him. Musically, the concerto,  Songs of the Dawn, is about lyricism – melodic themes that never end, but simply transform. It is a work of light and shadow that moves from peaceful incantations to a ritual dance.

Viotti, Ravel & Strauss

Few artists have struggled to find their place in the world like Gustav Mahler. Chief conductor Fabio Luisi continues his journey through the composer's symphonies, and here he reaches the work that captures Mahler's inner contradictions more vividly than any other.

Luisi & Igor Levit

Berlioz's iconic  Symphonie fantastique was both a love letter in symphonic form and a manifesto for a new type of French music driven by intensity, humor and passion.

Cheknavorian & Symphonie Fantastique

Serge Prokofiev's interpretation of Shakespeare's play  Romeo and Juliet as ballet music contains the composer's most famous and captivating music. No one could have done it better – Prokofiev exploits his gift for personally marked melodies and his characteristic combination of sharp edge and soft, romantic core.

Prokofiev & Piazzolla

For Barbara Hannigan, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 is above all about love – four movements bound together by the composer’s heartbreak in love and his feelings for his student, Baroness Therese Malfatti. After several successful performances of the work, Hannigan returns to Copenhagen with the symphony, which she calls “an absolute heartbreaker”.
