The song evening with Anne Odgård is centered on communal singing and offers insight into the work of selecting songs for the latest 19th edition of Højskolesangbogen. She talks about the choices and considerations involved when a strong tradition is to be renewed, and along the way both familiar and newer songs will be sung, along with songs and hymns from her own repertoire.
Anne Odgård is a composer, lyricist, and singer who has made significant contributions to the Danish communal singing tradition. She has written music for both her own and others' texts, including works by Ole Sarvig, Iben Krogsdal, and Inger Christensen, and her melodies move between hymns and songs with an existential resonance. Harlev Koret also takes part this evening and will sing a couple of settings of Anne's compositions. The event takes place at Framlev Sognehus.
