DR Vokalensemblet and its chief conductor Martina Batič launch the choir's 20th anniversary season with an evocative programme built around ancient myths — from the birth of Venus to Orpheus' descent into the underworld — as told through major choral works of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The concert explores how myths and their unforgettable cast of characters have given composers a mirror for the deepest human experiences: love and loss, creation and destruction, hope and resistance. The human voice here becomes storyteller, witness and ritual all at once.
The programme features principal works by modern masters who treat myth not as distant legend but as living reflection of genuine human experience.
