The Danish National Vocal Ensemble, renowned for its sublime choral artistry and versatility, is a chamber choir that holds a preeminent position in the rich musical landscape of Denmark. Established in 2007 under the auspices of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), the ensemble quickly became a shining beacon of vocal excellence, not only within Denmark but internationally. With a repertoire that spans from the Renaissance to contemporary compositions, the ensemble has a particular affinity for works by Nordic composers, bringing forth the ethereal and resonant qualities of Northern European choral music.

Under the skillful baton of various prominent chief conductors, including the ensemble's founding conductor Stefan Parkman, and subsequent leaders such as Marcus Creed and Michael Bojesen, the Danish National Vocal Ensemble has garnered critical acclaim for both their live performances and their recordings. Among their most recent work, the ensemble has delved into the complex choral pieces of Zoltán Kodály and György Ligeti with 'Kodály & Ligeti: Choral Works', explored the romantic and expressive choral traditions with 'Gade: Erlkönigs Tochter & 5 Gesänge', and transcended traditional sacred boundaries with 'The Secret Mass: Choral Works by Frank Martin & Bohuslav Martinů'. Their versatility is further showcased in collaborations with contemporary composers such as Bent Sørensen and Siobhan Lamb, bringing new choral music to a wider audience. Featuring a refined blend of the old and the new, the Danish National Vocal Ensemble continues to enchant audiences with its pure sound and heartfelt interpretations, solidifying their status as an eminent force in choral music.
