We are rarely confronted with death in our culture. We don't talk about it and we move it to nursing homes and hospices. Perhaps a new attitude towards death and grief is slowly emerging, but we still lack rituals and spaces to face them, because studies show that grief is fundamentally lonely in our society. The concert series 'The Tones of Death' will attempt to create such a space, perhaps a modern mourning ritual, where death is existential and where we can be together about it.

In 2021, the Danish Entertainment Orchestra performed the first concert with 'The Tones of Death', which was framed by excerpts from Naja Marie Aidt's 'If death has taken something from you, give it back. Carl's book', selected and read by the author herself. Since then, there have been successful concerts in 2022 and 2023 with, among others, Søren Ulrik Thomsen and Maren Uthaug as literary guests.

In the second half of 2025, Denmark will take over the presidency of the EU, giving it the opportunity to set the agenda for European cooperation for the following six months. At the same time, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the historic Helsinki Declaration, which sets international standards for human rights and freedom of expression, is being celebrated. Before the fall of communism, the Declaration played a crucial role as an ideal for the democratic movements behind the Iron Curtain, and after the fall of the Wall, it has been of great importance for the EU's eastern enlargement.

Now, for the first time, Tim Christensen adds completely new harmonies and moods to his impressive repertoire when he visits concert halls across the country with the Danish Entertainment Orchestra.
His songwriting is the sound of rebellious excess in the teenager's room, the memory of the first crush and like a concrete rock for the midlife crisis. Few songwriters get to create soundtracks for life. But that is exactly what Tim Christensen has done time and time again throughout his now more than 30-year career in Danish music.

The audience can look forward to an experience of another world, where Cæcilie Norby returns to the atmosphere from parts of her award-winning Arabesque record with completely new compositions and lyrics. These were created with inspiration from works by, among others Ravel, Debussy and Satie, who during La Belle Époque – before the First World War hit – helped melodically and harmonically pave the way for what later became jazz and popular music.
