Danmarks Underholdningsorkester pays tribute to the music of Kim Larsen

Description

In January and February 2027, Danmarks Underholdningsorkester pays tribute to the music of one of the country's greatest artists and composers, as the orchestra tours the country with the songs from Kim Larsen's impressive catalogue and career. A unique, shared treasury of songs that continues to bind generations together. "Kim Larsen's songs have written themselves into our shared language in a rare way - and done so with both humour and seriousness," begins John Frandsen, director of Danmarks Underholdningsorkester. "It says almost everything that 'Om lidt' has over the years become one of the most widely used farewell songs in Denmark and has even found its way into both the Højskolesangbogen and the Kirkesangbogen. It is precisely the power of the songs, along with the resonance and sense of connection, that we take as our starting point when we lift Kim Larsen's lyrics and melodies into a symphonic universe." It is with the back catalogue of Kim Larsen's impressive solo career that Danmarks Underholdningsorkester tours the country in the winter of 2027. And with a treasury of songs that spans widely - from the legendary debut LP 'Værsgo' from 1973 to the iconic 'Midt Om Natten' and 'Forklædt Som Voksen' of the 80s and on to almost 25 years of critically acclaimed gold records in the company of Kjukken - this is in every way a uniquely broad cross-section of Danish music history, which the evening's soloists get the chance to unfold and interpret anew. The concert series is joined by the strong Danish voices of Jesper Binzer (D-A-D), Sofie Dopha, Mathias Ranch and Caroline Henderson.
