A free afternoon concert that traces the story of Prinsens Musikkorps, the military band reborn in 1940 in the middle of the German occupation of Denmark. Through music, stories and historical episodes, the programme follows the band from Randers to Nyborg, everyday life under wartime rationing, and the events of 29 August 1943, when German forces attacked the barracks in Nyborg.
The music covers 1930 to 1945, from traditional marches to the popular jazz of the period, sung by actress and singer Amalie Dollerup. The historian and author Henrik Engelbrecht brings the story to life as lecturer. The band also uses original kettledrums that were hidden from the Germans during the occupation and come from war booty taken after the 1849 battle at Aarhus.
