MARTIN HALL IN NEW DRK SERIES

In DRK's new series about the history of classical music in Denmark, Danish music throughout 500 years (a series of all in all four broadcasts that begins on Tuesday the 1st of December), Martin Hall is featured in the programme that will be sent on Tuesday the 8th of December at 22.40 PM.

The series works with four main topics in Danish classical music, and every broadcast thus serves as a specific angling of the history of the country’s music.

The programme Hall appears in focuses on a cultural capital – how niche music works and enacts its relevance in a larger context. The broadcast includes a new interview with Hall as well as a selection of his latest works.

The site-specific installation/exhibition at the Cisterns received a line of sublime reviews and was visited by more than 90.000 guests during 2015.
