Working conditions and aims
The Jutland Ensemble is one of so-called basis ensembles in Denmark, whose function is to give concerts to a high professional standard, teach and generally increase the availability of classical music in the provinces. At present there are 5 such ensembles in Denmark. The Jutland Ensemble was founded in 1988 and is supported by the Danish Arts Council´s Committee for Music and Viborg, Skive, Morsø and Thisted counties.
Activity
The ensemble gives between 50 and 80 concerts per season, both in Denmark and abroad, and it broadcasts regularly on Danish National Radio.
The repertoire of The Jutland Ensemble ranges from the baroque to contemporary music, and the ensemble has new works on commission each season from Danish composers. We regularly work with other ensembles, soloists and conductors, both national and international. In the last couple of years, we have worked with a wide range of musicians such as oboist Gordon Hunt, singer Barbara Hendricks, conductor Stefan Parkman and Diamantensemblet.
