Tuttis eventyr

(“Tutti’s Adventure”)

In this 30-minute adventure with narration by Carl Quist-Møller, the tiger Tutti seeks out various animals across 15 movements, hoping they can teach him how to roar.

Along the way, he dives into underwater music with whales, dances frog-tango, plays football with buffaloes, and much more.

Composed for and first performed by Maria Burgård, Signe Thorborg, conductor Morten Ryelund, and the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra.
