NIELS RØNSHOLDTS OPERA 'THE LAST RITES' PREMIERES ON ICE TO GREAT REVIEWS
At Copenhagen Opera Festival 2022, Niels Rønsholdt's new opera 'The Last Rites' ('Den Sidste Olie') was premiered at the ice skating rink in Copenhagen, staged by Louise Beck. The audience was placed on the actual ice together with singers and performers, while the orchestra played from outside the rink.
​The sold out performances received great reviews and was called "original and unique" and "a clear evidence that the opera genre still evolves".

"OIL, OPERA AND THE HISTORY THAT HAUNTS US" - INTERVIEW WITH NIELS RØNSHOLDT
The online journal for contemporary music Seismograf brings an interview with Niels Rønsholdt by Macon Holt about the upcoming premiere of Rønsholdt new opera 'The Last Rites' and the conceptual, political and methodical thoughts behind the work.
Read here at Seimograf.

'COUNTRY' AMONG HIGHLIGHTS OF 2021 IN POLITIKEN AND SWR
Danish newspaper Politiken includes Country among the best classical albums of 2021 and also the contemporary music staff on German radio SWR2 highlights 'Country' in their 2021 year review. 

GREAT REVIEWS FOR TWO RØNSHOLDT ALBUMS
Two Niels Rønsholdt albums were released in November just one week apart, and as different as they are, both albums are receiving great reviews

Niels Rønsholdt's solo piano piece Archive of Emotions and Experiences, Book 1: Birds, was released at Dacapo Records on 12 November. The work is recorded by the Greek pianist Lenio Liatsou. 
The critic from Politiken calls it " Wildly beautiful piano poetry of the kind that Rønsholdt can often evoke."
The critic from Seismograf agrees: "In many ways, the composition is a communiqué encouraging a thematic reading about post-apocalypse and climate catastrophe. But it is also extremely caring, loving, welcoming. Altogether I believe this is my favourite from the piano literature of the 21st Century."

Rønsholdt's cello concerto Country was recorded by the Polish New Music Orchestra with Jakob Kullberg as the singing solo cellist, joined by the singer Annekei and conducted by Szymon Bywalec. Country was released by Dacapo Records on 19 November.

The critic from Politiken wrote: "Welcome to the prairie! Niels Rønsholdt creates deeply original music which both feeds the mind and hits beautifully in the stomach [...] The album with the country-playing singing cellist Jakob Kullberg centerstage is a dramatic, alien and yet familiar album that builds the strangest musical cultural bridges." 
Seismograf wrote: "The recording of the cello concerto Country - commissioned by the main character Jakob Kullberg - is so successful that it can easily bear a triumphal arch of statuettes and words of praise."

The blog gregersDH also complimented Country: "Rønholdt's ’country’ music makes you constantly pick up your ears to understand what he's up to. Song after song is wrapped and blurred in layers of floating, almost oriental caresses or menacing hugs with melancholic death signals."

COUNTRY - ALBUM OUT NOW ON DACAPO RECORDS
The studio recording of the cello concerto in 18 songs 'Country' is now released on all platforms. The piece is recorded by soloist Jakob Kullberg and Orkiestra Muzyki Nowej conducted by Szymon Bywalec.
'Country' was premiered in 2020 to great acclaim and won the Carl Prize 2021.  

ARCHIVE OF EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES - ALBUM OUT NOW ON DACAPO RECORDS
The greek pianist Lenio Liatsou's recording of 'Archive of Emotions and Experiences, Book 1' is now available on streaming services and CD. 
The piece was premiered by Liatsou at Klang Festival 2019 - "the most fascinating concert at the festival" according to the magazine Seismograf.

​NIELS RØNSHOLDT WINS CARL PRIZE 2021 FOR 'COUNTRY'
Niels Rønsholdt wins the "Composer of the Year 2021 - Large Ensemble" award for the cello concerto 'Country'. The piece is a concerto and song cycle in 18 songs performed by Jakob Kullberg and OMN conducted by Szymon Bywalec and with additional voice by Anne Kraglund. The Carl Prize is the Danish music publishers awards for music of all genres.

STRING QUARTET IN 100 MOVEMENTS BY RØNSHOLDT
The string quartet 'Centalog' is premiered 18 September 2021 by Taïga String Quartet at Frederiksberg Festspil.

Niels Rønsholdt's 'Centalog' is a piece for string quartet in 100 movements. The music consists of unison melodies swirling by in high speed and spreading in multiple registers. The tones of the melodies leave traces in all four instruments and create music that at once seems to be and not be unison. 
The work is shaped like an abstract archive where each movement is one side of something symmetrical. Like biological shapes in nature - a leaf, a feather, an insect - the movements in 'Centalog' have a right and a left side. Sometimes they are right next to each other, at times they are far apart. 
"I have always been fascinated by archives, catalogues, collections - like objects in a museum that at first seem alike, but tiny differences hold each their own story and identity. I like the way that you must give these things attention in order for them to come alive in their particularity." Niels Rønsholdt says.

‘COUNTRY’ PREMIERED AT SPOR FESTIVAL 2020
Niels Rønsholdt's unique cello concerto ‘Country’, which is an hour long piece for singing cellist and chamber orchestra, was premiered at Spor Festival 2020 by Jakob Kullberg, Polish New Music Orchestra conducted by Szymon Bywalec. ‘Country’ takes starting point in the American country-folk music with european roots and is about the relation between human and nature, belonging, longing out and about authenticity and inauthenticity.
The performance received a 5-star review in Aarhus Stiftstidende and online contemporary art magazine Kunsten.nu wrote:
​“As in Rønsholdt's other works the composition is filled with pathos and at the same time something more kitch and fragile. It alternates between ease and anger, longing and despair, hope and sorrow. [...] As the concert ends tears roll down the cheeks."
The premiere at Spor Festival was the first performance of the full two-part version of ‘Country’, the first part had previously been performed in Polish Radio, Katowice.


NIELS RØNSHOLDT NOMINATED FOR NORDIC COUNCIL MUSIC PRIZE 2020 FOR 'SONGS OF DOUBT'
Rønsholdt's song cycle for solo voice, choir and ondes martinot 'Songs of Doubt' is among the nominees for the prestigious Nordic Council Music Prize 2020. The nomination committee writes: "Songs of Doubt stands as a collection of strange, breathtakingly beautiful and deeply emotional musical statements about one of the fundamental conditions of being human: Doubt and the states that doubt calls forth in us."
'Songs of Doubt' is published by Edition•S and released on Dacapo Records with Roderik Povel, Nathalie Forget and Studium Chorale conducted by Hans Leenders and produced by Peter Barnow. Available on all streaming platforms and CD.

GREAT REVIEWS FOR 'BOOK OF PRAYERS'
In a 5-star review of the premiere of Rønsholdts oratorio 'Book of Prayers', Kristeligt Dagblad calls it a “captivating experience” and states that Rønsholdt “with inventiveness and audacity (…) has composed a strong and thought-provoking paraphrase of the old music genre”. The contemporary music online magazine Seismograf makes a thorough reflection on the experience and the work and calls it “an elegant critique of authorities” and continues “It occurred to me that the piece in fact wasn’t about the good people of the streets in the old Eastern Germany but rather about the danger and ridiculousness of people praying in a herd. And that we as audience were drawn into this critique in a very subtle way(..). Elegantly done.”
'Book of Prayers' was commissioned and premiered by Mogens Dahls Chamber Choir, Athelas Sinfonietta and Golden Days Festival.

NEW PERFORMANCES OF 'ME QUITTE'
The 2013 song cycle ‘Me Quitte’ has been a widely recognized succes for Rønsholdt and SCENATET who commissioned the piece in 2012 with performances in Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Hong Kong and a studio recording on Dacapo Records. Now there will be a new set of performances coming up with the South American premiere in Sao Paolo and Sorocaba, Brazil in November 2019 and in Halland Opera and Vocal Festival, Sweden in february.
The Wire called Me Quitte a ‘ghostlike cabaret of songs’, Danish newspaper Politiken a ‘mindblower’ and the music journal Seismograf ‘a masterpiece’.
Find the studio recording of ‘Me Quitte’ at Spotify, Apple Music etc., or live recordings on Youtube or Soundcloud.

ARCHIVE OF EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES
Over two nights book 1 and 2 of Niels Rønsholdt's multi-volume piano work 'Archive of Emotions and Experiences' was premiered at Klang Festival 2019 by greek pianist Lenio Liatsou. "The most fascinating piece of the festival" Seismograf wrote in it's review.

One of the most diverting albums we’ve heard in ages" and Spanish magazine Sonograma calls it "a work that radiates perfection, agility and an especially tasteful cultivation of the relationship between voice and electronic sounds"

PRAISE FOR 'GAZE FOR GAZE'
"I left the concert in a state of wonder and excitement." Friday March 17th saw the world premiere of Gaze for Gaze (Blik for Blik), Niels Rønsholdt's new experimental performance opera staged by art & music ensemble SCENATET. Some 200 guests attended the four sold-out concerts in Copenhagen during the weekend; among them Henrik Friis, classical music critic at leading Danish newspaper Politiken. In his 5-star review of Gaze for Gaze, Friis writes of the "remarkable, fragile authenticity" invoked by Rønsholdt, who sang one of the leading parts himself. "Gaze for Gaze truly was something else, and successful. Perhaps it was something like a slow, meditative mix of traditional Japanese Noh theatre, Danish pedagogy of the 1970s kind – asking everyone to join in, regardless of training – and curious minimalist avant-garde."
