Book excerpt: Founded more than five hundred and fifty years ago, the Royal Danish Orchestra is the world's oldest orchestral institution. Starting out as a trumpeter corps, the institution is today an opera and symphony orchestra based at the Royal Opera in Copenhagen. To date, more than a thousand musicians have been employed in the orchestra; through their stories, we learn the history of the Royal Danish Orchestra in short, independent sections centered on the musicians. The book is richly illustrated with a selection of the treasures of art inspired by the Royal Danish Orchestra, giving us a uniquely intimate and detailed portrait of the everyday life of the orchestra and its members.
