Else Marie Pade's Völo-spa hoc est was written in 1956 but was premiered with quite some delay, when DR Vokalensemblet performed it for the very first time in September 2023.
Now, the piece has gained some momentum and will be performed no less than 8 times during the next two weeks.
Graabrødre Kammerkor performs Völo-spa hoc est at a concert on 8 March in Musikhuset Copenhagen, celebrating female composers on International Women's Day 2024. The concert programme also includes the performance of Tekla Griebel's Naar den mørke hyldebusk as well as a long list of great female composers, and the concert is repeated in Odense and Aarhus on 9 March.
The works by Tekla Griebel are published by Edition·S in the sub-edition Danish Classical Music as part of a project that specifically focuses on Danish women composers, shedding light on an overlooked yet important repertoire in Danish musical heritage.
