Clemmensen and Anker-Pedersen, from the Royal Musical Academy at Arnhus, will be joined on piano by Edward Leonard, musical director for the Pittsburgh Philharmonic, for this unique event bridging two worlds.

“We were curious about what a town named for our country might look like,” Clemmensen noted. “We felt that, if you did us the honor of naming yourselves after us, we could at least do you the honor of coming to play you some of our music.”

Denmark Arts Center Artistic Director Jamie Hook concurred, “Sometimes, to make stone soup, you gotta have the stones. In this case, those stones were a town and a country both named Denmark. We are hopeful that this event will build a bridge that many more may cross in years to come.”

With towns in Maine named for Mexico, Norway, Paris, Sweden, Naples, Poland, Peru, and China, the DAC hopes their model might make for an international revolution in Western Maine.

Admission is $10. DAC is at 50 West Main St. For more information, call 207-452 – 2412 or visit www.denmarkarts.org.
