Each year we invite a number of participants from Denmark, Europe and abroad to participate in the event of the year. The annual event can be in the field of string orchestra, chamber orchestra, full symphony orchestra or events for instrumentalists and singers. In 2015 we have focused on the large repertoire for singers and pianists in order to celebrate the 150 years anniversary of Danish national composer Carl Nielsen and Finnish national composer Jean Sibelius.
