Description was written before the event

Eight young composers have each written a piece of music inspired by their own homeland and their thoughts on the concept. The works are performed by the duo Vera (recorder) and William (guitar) under the title Homeland.

About the venue: Koncertkapellet

Koncertkapellet opened in May 2024 in the renovated Sankt Jørgensbjerg Kapel in Roskilde. The venue is dedicated to classical and acoustic music, with the hall designed around unamplified sound so audiences can hear performers up close. It is run by Foreningen Koncertkapellet, a non-profit founded in 2016 that holds a 30-year lease from Sankt Jørgensbjerg Kirke. The programme ranges from chamber music and choral concerts to folk music and experimental stage works.

Their Hjemstavn Komponistprojekt, based in Næstved and supported by the Liljekonval Fonden among others, commissioned eight young composers to write personal works for the duo inspired by the concept of homeland.
