Allan Gravgaard Madsen selected for International Rostrum of Composers

Allan Gravgaard Madsen has been selected for the International Rostrum of Composers 2024. He will represent Denmark together with composers Signe Lykke and Lil Lacy.

The International Rostrum of Composers is considered the most important platform for the exposure of new music on the radio. In 2024, Rostrum takes place from May 14 to 17 in Vilnius, Lithuania, where representatives from more than 30 radio stations meet for three days of listening sessions.

- I am happy and proud to present three Danish composers for the International Rostrum of Composers, says Max Fage-Pedersen, radio host and a member of the Danish jury. "These are composers who are all approaching the age of 40 and who are not yet well known abroad. Their music, each in its own way, has a chance to win it all.

Allan Gravgaard Madsen's contribution is the piece Silbertönen composed for oboe, violin, cello and piano.  Silbertönen was premiered by Ensemble Stralo in August 2023, and Max Fage-Pedersen describes it as a piece that "makes room for a thoughtful sensory experience in delicate colours."
