Carl Nielsen Chamber Music - Asmus Hanke, Laurits Dragsted & more.

In 14 days concert

An evening of chamber music by Carl Nielsen, presented at the Academy Concert Hall in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, on 23 November 2026. The concert runs from 19:30 to 21:30 and is a good choice for listeners who enjoy Danish music performed in an intimate setting.

The programme

The evening brings together several sides of Nielsen's chamber writing:

  • a Wind Quintet
  • a String Quintet
  • Commotio
  • Songs

The performers

The concert features a mix of voice, piano, organ and wind instruments. Asmus Hanke sings, Laurits Dragsted plays piano, Isak Birkemose plays organ, and the RDAM Wind Quintet takes part in the wind music. Because the programme moves between ensemble and solo voices, it gives a varied picture of the composer's work for smaller groups.

Planning your visit

The Academy Concert Hall is in Frederiksberg, a district of Copenhagen, so the concert suits a visit to the city in late autumn. Evening performances here are a comfortable way to spend a few hours after a day of sightseeing. For ticket details and the latest information, check the event page at dkdm.dk.
