Denmark’s royal choir on first India

New Delhi, April 27: Joyful music heralding the spring and summer seasons after a biting cold European winter forms part of the repertoire that the elite Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir brings on its first visit to India this May.

The visiting choir in cooperation with the Danish Embassy is set to perform here on May 10.

“We have never been to India before and I am under the impression that not many people in the country are familiar with the choir tradition. I hope people will love it,” Ebbe Munk, director and chief conductor told PTI.

Cathedral choirs and their choir schools are among some of the oldest musical traditions in Europe and presently the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir CRCC is the only representative of this tradition in Scandinavia- a cultural, historical and ethno-linguistic region in northern Europe that includes the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
