Musical activities

I am educated obo player and until about 1980 I assisted
as a musician in Aarhus Symfoniorkester.

Musikstuderendes Kammerkor (Music Students Chamber Choir)

In 1957 I founded Musikstuderendes Kammerkor and I am still the leader of the little
chamber ensemble. For more information about the choir see

"Musikstuderendes Kammerkors hjemmeside"

Together with the choir I have published LP and CD recordings. The latest doubble CD
appeared in october 2003, containing the madrigal cycles Ecco Silvio, Lamento d'Arianna,

and Sestina by Monteverdi, 2 arrangements by Coppini, and works by Knud Jeppesen
and by Finn Mathiassen.
The texts for Jeppesen's and Mathiassen's works in Danish can be seen here:
