In 2024, it is the 100th anniversary of Else Marie Pade's birth. We celebrate the Danish pioneer by premiering her over an hour-long work "Immortella" for 7 janitsharers. The piece was composed in 1970 but has undergone several revisions, most recently in 1984, and has never been performed. Originally conceived as a dramatic ballet pantomime with 1-7 dancers, for this occasion, we premiere the work in a concert version specially prepared for this concert.

The piece is divided into three large parts consisting of a total of 21 sections, with the percussionists changing for each section:

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
1. Egoism 1. Envy 1. Mercy
2. Malevolence 2. Fear 2. Selflessness
3. Grief 3. Despair 3. Generosity
4. Hubris 4. Loneliness 4. Humility
5. Greed 5. Hope 5. Joy
6. Desire 6. Courage 6. Kindness
7. Scandal 7. Philanthropy 7. Love
