Danish hip hop meets the next generation of big band musicians Danish Youth Jazz Orchestra X PER VERS 2027 For more than 25 years, Per Vers has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices on the Danish hip hop and spoken word scene. He is known for his sharp lyrics, improvisational ability and his particular command of the Danish language, which has made him a sought-after artist across music, theatre, radio and cultural projects.

With thousands of concerts behind him and including the Dan Turèll Medal and the Mother Tongue Prize for his work with language, he has carved out a unique position in Danish cultural life. Per Vers meets Danish Youth Jazz Orchestra and conductor John Riddell in this project in a collaboration where contemporary Danish hip hop is unfolded together with a large youth big band.

The concert brings together rap, rhythmic language and orchestral sound in a meeting between one of Danish hip hop's most distinctive voices and the next generation of big band musicians. Here it becomes possible for young musicians and audiences to meet one of the most distinctive voices in Danish hip hop and rap.

The project simultaneously marks Per Vers' 25-year anniversary as a professional artist. About Danish Youth Jazz Orchestra Danish Youth Jazz Orchestra is a forward-moving youth big band on the Danish jazz scene.

The orchestra consists of the region's emerging talents making their way in the Danish jazz environment, and functions both as a young elite big band and as a talent development base in the Central Denmark Region.
