About the venue: Koncertsalen Alsion

Koncertsalen Alsion in Sønderborg is the main concert hall for the whole of Southern Jutland, with seating for up to 988 guests. The programme ranges from classical music and opera to stand-up, comedy and lectures, with Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester as a regular resident ensemble. The hall is constructed as two concrete shells, one inside the other, keeping outside noise at bay and giving it acoustics that performers consistently praise. The 20-metre-wide stage can be adjusted hydraulically to depths of 6, 9 or 12 metres.

About: Christian Øland

Trained in Helsinki and at home on major European stages, Øland brings a distinctly Nordic perspective to the podium - and from 2025/26 he anchors that vision in southern Jutland as the orchestra's first Danish chief conductor in many years.
