No two musicians are alike. Not even in our orchestra. From the skilled string players to the virtuoso wind players, each individual brings a unique timbre to our musical ensemble. Here you can read about our musicians and learn more about the orchestra. Each musician carries with them a unique history and background that is reflected in their music. From their sources of inspiration and favorite composers to their personal approach to creating and exploring tones, there is much to learn about our dedicated and diverse ensemble. 

Philharmonic Choir

For over 20 years, the Philharmonic Choir under the direction of Alice Granum has formed the framework for fantastic choral concerts with our orchestra.

The Philharmonic Choir was formed in the spring of 2003. The choir currently consists of 55-60 members and is an ambitious amateur choir with a long tradition of performing major choral works, especially oratorio works and masses, which are performed together with the Danish Philharmonic Orchestra in two to three annual projects.

It is thus a well-established ensemble that, with roots in tradition, constantly sets new artistic goals in collaboration with the orchestra.

Since the beginning, the choir has been led by Alice Granum, who is a docent in choral conducting at the Southern Danish Music Conservatory in Odense.

The choir is open to new members - especially in the tenor group. Contact is made to Alice Granum at alicegranum@hotmail.com

The music director

Adam Stadnicki is a recognized conservatory-educated cellist with an impressive background from Copenhagen, Paris and New York. He has extensive experience from an active artistic career spanning his time in Athelas Sinfonietta, all the capital's symphony orchestras and as part of the piano quartet Copenhagen Piano Quartet. Now he is our music director, and we are happy about that.

Lift the curtain on the music

Each instrument in a symphony orchestra plays a crucial role in creating a harmonious and rich sound. The strings add warmth and depth, the winds bring color and character, while the timpani provide power and rhythm. Together they create a beautiful and complex musical experience. Get to know each of them here.

The team behind the orchestra

Behind a well-functioning orchestra is a dedicated team, where every single role is crucial. From finances to administration, producers, archivists, directors and communications officers – every link is indispensable for the orchestra to deliver. They all contribute equally importantly to the orchestra's success, when together they create harmony between artistic expression and stable operation.
