2015 – 2025
We are Danish Chamber Orchestra
10 years with The Danish Chamber Orchestra
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.

Concerts and tickets
How do I get help with ticket booking?
We visit concert halls all over the country and therefore do not have a single ticket office. On each concert page we link to the ticket office, where you can quickly find prices, playing times, available seats and contact information for the venue.
Several of our concerts are sold via Ticketmaster, which can be contacted by phone at 0045 38481630 (Monday to Friday 10 am to 4 pm).
I have a question or suggestion for one of the concerts
You can find inspiration and additional materials on each concert’s webpage. If you have questions, suggestions, or ideas, feel free to email info@underholdningsorkester.dk
Can I contact you by phone?
We are often rehearsing, immersed in music, or on our way to the next concert. Therefore, it is not possible to contact the orchestra by phone. You are very welcome to write to us at info@underholdningsorkester.dk – we will get back to you as soon as possible.
