About This Event

The Danish National Vocal Ensemble presents a choral dialogue across the centuries, with British composer and suffragette Ethel Smyth responding to Bach and Italian-born Paola Prestini reflecting on Palestrina, born 500 years ago. The great Dane Carl Nielsen paid his own tribute to Palestrina and the choir also brings songs of summer and autumn.
