2 X KOPPEL

Anders and Benjamin's musical collaboration stretches back many years and moves in the borderland between classical and jazz with strong rhythmic traces.

Anders Koppel is one of Denmark's most versatile and productive composers and musicians. He was a co-founder of Savage Rose, where his characteristic organ playing became a central feature.

He later became a prominent figure on the Danish world music scene as a member of Bazaar.

We know Benjamin Koppel as an excellent saxophonist and as an author of, among other things, Anna's song – which he helped give musical form to in the Book Concert: Anna's song in the summer of 2025.

Discover the three brand new series

MAGIC VOICES

Experience music when the voice is at the center. Magical Voices offers powerful vocal works with both soloists and choirs – from the intimate and moving to the magnificent and powerful. Here, the human voice merges with the orchestra and creates moments that go straight to the heart.

FUTURE STARS

Experience the big names of tomorrow now. In this series, we present four concerts with young, up-and-coming artists who are on their way to the international top. Here, energy, courage and virtuosity take center stage – and a unique opportunity to experience the stars everyone is talking about before they really break through.

SUPERB SOLOISTS

In this series you will meet international top names and distinctive soloists who, with technical prowess and strong musicality, lift music to new heights. Each concert is an experience of solo playing in an absolutely special class. We are proud to be able to present artists of this level in the Alsion Concert Hall.

The Alsion package

The Alsion Package gives you access to 14 classical concerts in the region's best concert hall – the Alsion Concert Hall. Here we bring together the season's greatest experiences in one place: the most beloved works, the strongest programs and the most significant artists.

Look forward to meeting top international conductors, outstanding soloists and a symphony orchestra in top form. From the great symphonic masterpieces to the more intimate and sensual moments – the Alsion package is for you who want to get up close and personal with classical music in the best possible setting.

Christian Øland is the new chief conductor

A new era has begun for The Danish Philharmonic Orchestra, one of great ambition and a fresh musical outlook. Standing on the conductor's podium is now Christian Øland, a Danish conductor with Nordic roots, international experience, and, above all, a deep love for classical music.

He already knows the orchestra well. He has conducted it on several occasions, leading everything from grand symphonies to enchanting family concerts. And now, he will lead it, not just for a concert or two, but on an entire journey.

Meet the orchestra

We are a regional orchestra – the entire regional orchestra. Every week we play for audiences throughout southern Jutland, an area with more than 700,000 enthusiastic spectators.

With our roots firmly planted in the local community, we create magical moments regardless of whether we perform in Sønderborg, Tønder, Aabenraa, Haderslev, Kolding, Flensburg or Schleswig. In The Danish Philharmonic Orchestra, we have an ambition that our presence and passion for music is always within reach and accessible to our audience.
