Birkerødkoret and Con Brio-koret perform Dvorak's Stabat Mater on Sunday, 22 November 2026 at 4 p.m. in Helligaandskirken on Strøget in Copenhagen.

This is one of two Danish concert dates for Birkerødkoret on tour. Helligaandskirken is one of Copenhagen's oldest churches, with Gothic and Baroque elements dating back to the Middle Ages, though the present building largely dates from the 1700s following a fire. Admission is 150 kr.

About: Stabat Mater

Written by Dvořák after the loss of three of his children within a few years, this large-scale choral work sets the ancient Latin lament of Mary for soloists, choir and orchestra. Since its Prague premiere in 1880 it has remained one of the most frequently performed works in the choral-orchestral repertoire, including in Danish churches and concert halls.
