Danish Chamber Players

The Danish Chamber Players (Ensemble Storstrøm), based in the modern art and music house KUMUS at the Fuglsang Manor on Lolland, are one of the five Danish ensembles, playing a central role in fostering a vibrant and diverse musical environment through concerts and projects of the highest quality across its supporting municipalities and the Storstrøm Cultural Region.

Since its founding in 1991, the ensemble has comprised eight distinguished chamber musicians, brought together in a unique instrumental configuration: three string players, three wind players, a pianist, and a harpist. This line-up provides the foundation for a broad and varied repertoire, ranging from classical masterpieces to innovative musical experiences.

With approximately 100 concerts annually, the ensemble has a particular focus on bringing music close to their audience. This is achieved through everything from traditional concerts to innovative formats in alternative venues. The ensemble is also committed to an extensive music education programme, engaging in creative collaborations with children, partnerships with other cultural institutions, and interactive projects that make music accessible and meaningful to people of all ages.

Over the years, the ensemble has commissioned more than 120 new works from leading composers, released over 30 CDs and participated in numerous broadcasts.

The Danish Chamber Players receives funding from the Danish Arts Foundation, the Storstrøm Cultural Region, and the municipalities of Næstved, Faxe, Lolland and Guldborgsund.
