A new documentary series on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) provides an insight into the everyday life of the Danish National Girls' Choir and chief conductor Phillip Faber.

A camera team has followed the choir this autumn and it has become four episodes, each of which invites the viewers behind concerts, rehearsals, the community and the music.

The 55 girls and their popular conductor are followed through a season of ups and downs, and the four episodes can now be seen on Tuesday nights on DR1 and streamed on dr.dk.

In Dacapo's catalogue you'll find several releases with DR Pigekoret, a.o. Din Danske Sang (Your Danish Song), collecting 12 Danish songs in new, personal interpretations by the Danish National Girls' Choir and three soloists as well as Sommerfugledalen (Butterfly Valley) – Phillip Faber's music for Inger Christensen's iconic poems – written for the Danish National Girl's Choir.

Furthermore, Dacapo distributes the CD release of DR Pigekoret's new Christmas album Stille som sne, (Quiet as Snow), collecting concert highlights and recordings from the last 5 years' Christmas concerts together with several Nordic guest artists.
