THE LAST GLIMMER OF DAYLIGHT
Opening Concert of Copenhagen Light Festival
As the opening concert of Copenhagen Light Festival 2027, the Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir invites you on a poetic journey through the many moods and changing expressions of light, with a special focus on French poetry and music.
From Debussy’s impressionistic soundscapes and Satie’s whimsical melodies to Poulenc’s expressive musical language, the concert explores the beauty and mystery of light.
Joining the choir as guest soloist is Eva Steinaa, Principal Oboist of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, while the creative collective Ungt Lys will transform Holmens Church through an evocative visual installation.
