Efterårskoncert
Tid: 5. oktober 2025 kl. 15
Sted: Viften
Tag med Rødovre Concert Band på en musikalsk rejse med den fængslende overskrift MAJESTÆTISKE MINDER. Tag din egen krone på og oplev musikalske minder, der bringer den indre majestæt - såvel konkret som abstrakt - frem med musik med over 500 års tidsspænd.
Musik af Ron Goodwin, Jacob Gade, Rasmus Kærsgaard og mange flere. David Palmquists nye kongemarch til Kong Frederik d. 10. er selvskrevet til programmet - og mon ikke også der dukker royal renaissancemusik op fra dengang Kongens hest var trænet til at knæle, så kongen bedre kunne komme op?
Dirigent og præsentation Klaus Tønshoff.

JUL MED RØDOVRE CONCERT BAND, TUVA OG JOACHIM
Sanger-ægteparret Tuva Semmingsen og Joachim Knop gæster Rødovre Concert Band med dirigent Klaus Tönshoff i spidsen, og publikum kan se frem til både en klassisk dansk jul med Nøddebo Præstegård, samt Kaya Brüels danske oversættelse af giganthittet fra 1944 Baby it's Cold Outside. Dertil swingende rytmer med uropførelse af Peter Jensens imponerende Merry Swing...and all that Christmas og mange flere overraskelser. Orkesterets egen trompetist Felipe Enselmann spiller virtuose lækkerier for os.
Gå fløjtende glad fra koncert i 100% ægte julestemning - og mon ikke der opstår de sædvanlige kaotiske orkesterforvekslinger op til julen? Der er jo så meget, der skal nås...

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.
