The Danish Chamber Orchestra has existed as the country’s only musician-owned orchestra since 2015, and this year the orchestra celebrates its 10th anniversary as an independent ensemble. However, its roots stretch back 86 years to its founding as the Danish National Chamber Orchestra under the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) in 1939.

The orchestra has gained wide international recognition through its collaboration with chief conducter Adam Fischer, while maintaining a strong popular-music profile.

The Danish Chamber Orchestra ties Denmark together with great musical experiences, insists on the social relevance of music and is deeply committed to talent development, outreach and the evolution of new concert formats. We place a strong emphasis on engaging children and young people, and collaborate with several municipalities across the country to ensure that music reaches all generations.
