DAUSGAARD ​​AND BERNSTEIN
The Danish master conductor Thomas Dausgaard is at the head of the Copenhagen Phil on an evening where we celebrate American music history with, among other things, Leonard Bernstein's impressive Songfest – composed on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence.

Internationally recognized Thomas Dausgaard enchanted audiences when he visited Copenhagen Phil in January 2023. Now he returns to a big evening with American music at the center - music that he has handpicked himself.

When the USA celebrated the 200th anniversary of its independence in 1976, it naturally had to be with newly written music by the nation's greatest musical personality, Leonard Bernstein. The result was the magnificent Songfest: A Cycle of American Poems for six soloists and chorus . In the work's entire 13 movements, Bernstein sets music to poems by the best poets in the history of the United States. From Walt Whitman to Gertude Stein and Edgar Allan Poe. Musically, Bernstein connects the aesthetics of the centuries and brings it all together in a dizzyingly eclectic sound that is unmistakably American.

Amy Beach composed her Symphony No. 2 in 1894 at a time when female composers were unheard of. But Beach's insistence and indisputable talent meant that the symphony was performed and published – as the first ever symphony by a female American composer. In the symphony , Beach was inspired by the English, Scottish and Irish songs of his ancestors and therefore gave it the title Gaelic Symphony . The result is a phenomenal fusion of romantic tones from old Europe and the new world.


The concert is supported by the Danish Research Foundation.

DAUSGAARD OG BERNSTEIN
Den danske mesterdirigent Thomas Dausgaard står i spidsen for Copenhagen Phil på en aften, hvor vi fejrer den amerikanske musikhistorie med bl.a. Leonard Bernsteins imponerende Songfest – komponeret i anledning af 200-året for USA’s uafhængighedserklæring.

Internationalt anerkendte Thomas Dausgaard tryllebandt publikum, da han i januar 2023 gæstede Copenhagen Phil. Nu vender han tilbage til en stor aften med amerikansk musik i centrum – musik, som han selv har håndplukket.

Da USA i 1976 fejrede 200­året for sin uafhæn­gighed, skulle det naturligvis ske med nyskrevet musik af nationens største musikerpersonlighed, Leonard Bernstein. Resultatet blev den storslåede Songfest: A Cycle of American Poems for seks sangsolister og kor. I værkets hele 13 satser sætter Bernstein musik til digte af de bedste poeter i USA’s historie. Fra Walt Whitman til Gertude Stein og Edgar Allan Poe. Musikalsk forbinder Bernstein århund­redernes æstetik og samler det hele i en svimlende eklektisk lyd, der er umiskendeligt amerikansk.

Amy Beach komponerede sin symfoni nr. 2 i 1894 i en periode, hvor kvindelige komponister var uhørte. Men Beach’s insisteren og uomtvistelige talent betød, at symfonien blev opført og udgivet – som den første symfoni af en kvindelig amerikansk komponist nogensinde. I symfonien lod Beach sig inspirere af sine forfædres engelske, skotske og irske sange og gav den derfor titlen Gaelic Symphony (Gælisk Symfoni). Resultatet er en fænomenal sam­mensmeltning af romantiske toner fra det gamle Europa og den ny verden.
