Not Only for Light • Not Only for Darkness
Probably Denmark's most powerhouse songwriter, Peter Sommer, and the all-playing crowd favorite who never suffers from supporting-role fever, Palle Hjorth, can be experienced this January at The Royal Danish Theatre's Old Stage in a theatrical, deeply romantic, and aesthetically ambitious blockbuster of a full-evening performance - one capable of transforming any theater into a concert hall, and any concert hall into a theater.
And the audience has more to look forward to than just the popular warm seats in the dark. For the dramatic duo has outdone themselves with a masterpiece of light, sound, and costume parade from first bell to curtain call - now bringing what is likely the most doubtful, yet never dubious, song catalog of great (and small) songs beyond the edge of the stage in a two-act show they have chosen to call: “Not Only for Light • Not Only for Darkness”.
For more than 20 years, Peter Sommer has written and released songs that make no attempt to simplify the world - where the easy questions are rarely answered, but the difficult and important ones are asked. And in a duo formation with keyboard virtuoso Palle Hjorth, both the most and least known songs from Sommer's pen are put on display in new light, new stage designs, and, not least, new musical interpretations. Freely, yet not without a script, you can look forward to hearing old favorites again – and in particular, world premieres of new interpretations from the duo's upcoming album PSPHPT 2, which will be released in conjunction with the tour (sold exclusively at the concerts).
The concert is presented by Live Nation
