The sound of the 20s

The 2020s and 1920s have several things in common: The world is trying to recover from a pandemic and many things, such as gender roles and class struggle, are being questioned with great excitement.

How is this reflected in the music? Can we hear any similarities and what happens if we bring in the 1820s, 1720s and 1620s?

In a kaleidoscopic programme of chamber music works for various ensembles, we let the music answer these questions. We will hear works by Francesca Caccini, Vivaldi, Pepusch, Rossini, Schubert, Kuhlau, Stravinsky, Poulenc, Weill, Griebel-Wandall, Roussel, Mazzoli and Bystrøm performed by students from DKDM and the School of Performing Arts.

The programme is curated by Professor Eva Hess Thaysen, who is also hosting the concert.
