From Denmark to Norway: A Musical Journey

22 October 2025

Flagey Studio 4

Clio Zois – Conductor
Jesper Busk Sørensen – Trombone

Our last concert showcasesed the gems of Danish and Norwegian classical music, including:

• A richly romantic overture In the Highlands by Denmark’s Niels Gade, inspired by the landscapes and folk traditions of Scotland;
• Axel Jørgensen’s bold and dramatic Suite, op. 22, a rare trombone concerto performed by Danish star Jesper Busk Sørensen of the Berliner Philharmoniker, revealing the lyrical beauty of the instrument;
• The world premiere of the winning work from our Composition Competition for Danish composers;
• Edvard Grieg’s beloved Peer Gynt Suites No. 1 and 2, bringing to life the dreamlike, haunting, and exhilarating soundscapes of Norway, including favourites like Morning Mood, Solveig’s Song, and In the Hall of the Mountain King.
