Lad dig fortrylle af forårets første toner.
Rødovre Concert Band spiller forårskoncert fyldt med musikalsk glæde og fantastisk virtuositet.
Oplev den hollandske verdenskendte komponist og dirigent Johan de Meij dirigere egne værker - og naturligvis også vores egen dirigent Klaus Tönshoff. Forårskoncert med værker af Miho Hazama, Carl Nielsen og Johan de Meij.
Anna Hesselhøj (fløjte) og Stine Spühler Riber (klarinet) skaber magi med deres instrumenter som solister fra orkesterets egne rækker.
Johan de Meij:
“Rødovre Concert Band is an orchestra full of vision, curiosity and adventure. With their supreme high musical and artistic level the RCB belongs to the very best wind orchestras in Europe. My collaboration and friendship with this great group go back more than 3 decades, and I am looking forward very much to come back again as a composer and conductor in April 2026 for their spring concert”.

About the band
The Danish Concert Band is a band that develops constantly - both in regards
to the individual players, but also because the band loves exploring new music, challenges and targets. Because of the great opportunities this band offers, it
attracts some of Denmark's future professional musicians. The band then
benefits from their talents as both a band member but also as a soloist. The
Danish Concert Band has very enthusiastic amateur musicians and is proud to
be in the high end of Danish amateur music.
The band has a unique community feel due to the fact that it is a band which
contains multiple generations and friendships between all ages. Those relations
are strengthened when the band travels throughout Europe, giving concerts and participating in festivals.
The Danish Concert Band was founded in 1968 and today consists of 65 players.
The band is economically supported by the municipality of Rødovre. The
municipality has supported the band from the very beginning. For recordings
and tours the band is supported by public and private foundations.
The band regularly participates in competitions and has achieved the
Danish Championship, the Nordic and the European Championship.
Latest in 2023, where the band won the Danish Championship and the orchestra has
therefore been the danish representative in the European Championship in 2024 in Oslo, Norway.
The band has four annual concerts in Kulturhuset Viften in Rødovre. The
summer concert is held in the Concert Hall at Tivoli Gardens. Generally, you
will experience at least one soloist at the performances. These soloists will be
one of the band's players or a professionel musician.
International collaboration
The Danish Concert Band collaborates with both Danish and international
composers, where the close collaboration with the Dutch/American composer
Johan de Meij is worth mentioning, as well as the good collaboration with the
Danish composer Søren Hyldgaard. These collaborations has lead to several
premieres in Denmark and other very exciting projects.
