The Danish Chamber Orchestra has a long and proud tradition of travelling around the country to celebrate Christmas through music. In recent years, it has done so with Burhan G. This year, four new, outstanding soloists will take to the stages of concert halls across Denmark.
“Together with Pernille Rosendahl, Nicklas Sahl, Stine Bramsen and NOAH, we will certainly embrace some of the powerful emotions Christmas awakens in us. We can do that because each of them brings their own sound, different memories and a personal emotional perspective on Christmas, which will be wonderful to bring to life together. We look forward to spreading light and bringing people together in the December darkness,” says John Frandsen, director of the Danish Chamber Orchestra.
The four singers share the enthusiasm for this exciting musical collaboration and look forward to singing in Christmas with the full Danish Chamber Orchestra behind them.
“Christmas is something we gather around, especially its songs. Whether it is the hymns we sing around the tree at home, ‘All I Want For Christmas’ on the radio or all the cosy songs from Christmas television series, there is something special about the feeling music brings in December, which touches us every single year,” begins Stine Bramsen. “With the Danish Chamber Orchestra, anything is possible. I am sure that what each of us can create with them will be enchanting, fun and nostalgic.”
That nostalgia also has a particular hold on Nicklas Sahl as Christmas approaches.
“When I was a child, my guitar teacher always played Hans Dal’s ‘Isbjerge’ from Nissebanden i Grønland at our end-of-term Christmas celebrations. To me, it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. So, with Hans Dal’s permission, a few years ago I wrote lyrics for it - about the people who shine brightest for me at Christmas: those closest to me, who have always been there and whom I might sometimes take a little for granted in an often busy everyday life. I look forward to sharing that message in these beautiful halls,” says Nicklas Sahl.
Both Troels Gustavsen (NOAH) and Pernille Rosendahl have previously toured with the Danish Chamber Orchestra, with great success. Over the past ten years, the orchestra has travelled from DR’s classical concert halls to the country’s biggest venues and stages in much-loved collaborations with some of Denmark’s best-known pop and rock artists.
This is the first time the Danish Chamber Orchestra has presented Juleshowet with four soloists: four voices, each with its own sound and interpretation of the magic we carry from childhood and rediscover throughout our lives. There is no doubt that the concert series will be an early musical Christmas gift to share with loved ones.
