Two Columbines

Clara Schumann and Lili Boulanger - Duo Bols & Bjørkøe - The Duo Bols and Bjørkøe have their fifth anniversary in 2022. They met each other at Holmen's Church in Copenhagen where they were both soloists at a Niels W. Gade concert celebration that was broadcast on the Danish National Radio. Since then, the duo has played multiple concerts throughout Denmark. In 2020, the Roskilde Music Association encouraged the duo to perform a program consisting only of female composers, a program that was also recorded for the Danish National Radio. This program became the basis for the repertoire on this CD. The duo most recently performed a concert for Hjørring Music Association with previously unknown songs by the Danish composer Nancy Dalberg, a concert which was also broadcast on the Danish National Radio. The duo is already planning to record these songs in the near future.
