What to expect:

This program holds a special place in this year’s festival. We are thrilled to introduce Lil Lacy (US/DK) as our new composer-in-residence. The evening revolves around themes of community and hope. Together with our amazing chamber orchestra, Friends Philharmonic, we are guaranteed an unforgettable evening.

The title of the concert reflects a meeting between worlds: a series of works by American composers such as Aaron Copland, Charles Ives, and Samuel Barber will visit us here in Copenhagen, in dialogue with our composer-in-residence Lil Lacy, whose roots span both America and Denmark.

As a prelude to the evening, the vocal ensemble ÆTLA will open the concert with two solo works, setting the tone for a night of reflection and connection.
