2012 is here, and we are ready for yet another fantastic season at Alsion Concert Hall. We are

looking forward to hosting a great variety of artists, such as the world’s best chamber orchestra

with the tricky name Academy of St. Martin in the Fields led by Swedish virtuoso trumpeter

Håkan Hardenberger, who is also a solo player, or the highly respected St. Petersburg Radio and

TV Symphony Orchestra. At the other end of the spectrum, the Danish comedy quartet “Ørkenens

Sønner” will put on their juicy, saucy and perfectly musical show, and you can meet the kings of

Danish stand-up, Casper and Frank. If you think only men can be funny and charming at the same

time, we can highly recommend “City Singler 2”, a hilarious show with Danish actresses

Trine Gadeberg, Sofi e Lassen-Kahlke, Anne Louise Hassing and Kaya Brüel.

With soloists like Annarita Gemmabella, Sabine Meyer and Michala Petri, “Sønderjyllands Symfoni-

orkester”, the Southern Jutland Symphony Orchestra, is presenting great symphonic experiences

again. You can also experience them in a totally different way when they perform some of the

absolute classics of symphonic rock. We are also presenting the opera Don Giovanni, Strauss-Gala,

“Slesviske Musikkorps” featuring Jette Torp and Erann DD, Peter Schaufuss’s modern staging of

the ballet classic Swan Lake and a whole lot more. Last but not least, do not miss our traditional

community singing at Café Alsion every fi rst Saturday of the month.

We are looking forward to yet another year with great experiences at Alsion Concert Hall.

The Middle Ages were anything but

dark! In the 1200s, a range of songs

in Medieval Latin and Middle High

German were written down, and

stored in the Benediktbeuren Monas-

tery in Bavaria. In 1937, these cheer-

ful, happy and sometimes frivolous

texts about love, booze and eroticism

were set to music by Carl Orff.
