Hope from the beyond: Brahms puts comfort into tones with his funeral mass for the living.
Brahms' Requiem is one of the most weighty works in the classical concert hall. It is permeated with a universal spirituality – and above all, with comfort. It is not a work for the dead; instead, it is a work for the living. Darkness always becomes light in Brahms.

Brahms Requiem

Aarhus Music Hall

A string of Strauss' best songs, set to voice by Miah Persson – combined with Beethoven's nature-enjoying Pastorale symphony and the overture to Tannhäuser: The very best from the classical world.
Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony overflows with grateful enjoyment of nature. The symphony is a deeply personal depiction of what made Beethoven happiest: lonely walks through rural landscapes, small babbling brooks and mighty thunderstorms. It is uncomplicated and comes straight from the heart.

Beethoven 6

Beethoven's Sixth Symphony is a thoroughly optimistic symphony, written by a composer with a great love of nature. Beethoven was happiest when he could take long, lonely walks in the countryside: "Forests, trees and rocks create the echo that man longs to hear," he stated.

In the Pastorale Symphony, Beethoven distills our love of nature and transforms it into music – and he does it so well that the landscape and wildlife take shape in the concert hall before our ears.

Pastoral

Be blown away by Mahler's mysterious orchestral universe.
The Seventh Symphony is Mahler's most enigmatic work, filled with night-dark tones and overwhelming orchestral sounds.

Mahler 7

Young energy and symphonic experience play side by side in a festive joint concert that is open to everyone.
Over the past few years, we have created a new and treasured tradition where once a year we are visited by and play a concert with students from Aarhus Music School.

Side by Side

Experience the conductors of tomorrow trying their hand at a full symphony orchestra and a challenging repertoire.
When you study music, you have your instrument to practice on. When you are a conducting student, you need an orchestra to practice on, which is why the regional orchestras always put on a show once a year for conducting students from the Royal Danish Academy of Music.

The new conductors

Sigurd Barrett and the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra try to find answers to life's big questions - with the help of music.

Who are we? What is music? Why are we so influenced by music? And why can't we do without it?
