Experience Danish global sensation Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider in concert on the Old Stage.
As Denmark's most celebrated and in-demand violinist internationally, Szeps-Znaider has captivated audiences worldwide since his career took off in 1997 with his victory at the Queen Elisabeth Competition. However, no matter how busy his schedule, Szeps-Znaider always finds his way back to Denmark and his musical roots.
It has been a steadfast tradition since 2007 for Szeps-Znaider to invite passionate supporters and new fans each year to a virtuosic evening at the Old Stage, featuring a tailor-made program and exciting guests on stage.
Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider will perform using a Guarneri 'del Gesú' 'ex-Kreisler' violin, on loan from the Royal Danish Theatre. The theatre received this precious instrument as a donation from the Villum Foundation and Velux Foundation, as well as the Knud Højgaard Foundation.

The Royal Danish Theatre Old Stage
The Royal Danish Theatre (RDT, Danish: Det Kongelige Teater) is both the national Danish performing arts institution and a name used to refer to its old purpose-built venue from 1874 located on Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen. The theatre was founded in 1748, first serving as the theatre of the king, and then as the theatre of the country. The theatre presents opera, the Royal Danish Ballet, classical music concerts (by the Royal Danish Orchestra, which dates back to 1448), pop stars, and drama in several locations.
The Royal Danish Theatre organization is under the control of the Danish Ministry of Culture, and its objectives are to ensure the staging of outstanding performances that do justice to the various stages which it controls.
