Concert Theatre
DSCH
DSCH is an immersive concert-theatre experience, ambitious both in scale and artistic scope, around the life and music of Dmitri Shostakovich. Under artistic director Pekka Kuusisto, the visual concert signals a new chapter in the orchestra’s exploration of what a concert can be. In collaboration with some of Denmark’s most prominent theatre professionals, the visual concert takes some of Shostakovich’s masterpieces - from chamber music, film music to his Chamber Symphony - and presents them in a new dimension with scenography, visual effects and theatrical narrative. NCO musicians, together with the acclaimed Danish accordionist Bjarke Mogensen, perform the complex music by heart, in costume and with choreographed moves on stage.
