Peace

Sct. Catharinæ Church and monastery yard

Concert with intermission about Rued Langgaards Bænk in Klostergården

The festival ends with an eternal message. A wish for peace expressed in tones and words by Tekla Griebel Wandall and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and now for the first time in a version for ensemble. A luxury that was not possible when the music was first performed at the Women's Peace Meeting in 1899.

Before that, we get close to both Ludolf Nielsen - whose String Quartet No. 3 contains life crisis and hope - and Rued Langgaard, who unleashes demonic forces in Humoreske.

During the concert break, the threads of Rued Langgaard Festival's Rued Langgaard's Bench are brought together when Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard's tones and Jonas Eika's words unite in the ancient monastery courtyard.
