about Ouvert’:
Erling Østergaard, rejserier.dk, October 3rd 2020:

“The opening measures, where the musicians turn pages in choreographed movements, have both a beautiful and surprising effect – to great delight for the audience.”
Rachel Einarsson, Jyllands-Posten, October 2nd 2020:
“Ouvert’ is Allan Gravgaard Madsen’s first official work as composer-in-residence with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra. And one just wants more of his sound universe after experiencing this world premiere.”
