The Odense conservatory's Autumn Festival opens with Optakt, a concert in which several of the school's larger ensembles take the stage in the conservatory's own concert hall. The festival is built around chamber music, with the students letting their instruments do the talking across the week.
The programme mixes a little of everything: a trumpet ensemble and a flute ensemble, Haydn's Divertimento in G major, excerpts from Josef Suk's String Serenade, Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin in an arrangement for flute ensemble, and Casey Cangelosi's Theatric No. 10 for percussion.
- Syddansk Musikkonservatoriums Kammerorkester, conducted by Arne Balk-Møller
- SDMK Trompetensemble
- SDMK Flutes, conducted by Rune Most
- Percussionists Mads Rasmussen and Daria Izdebska
