Allan Bendsen

My education: 1978-1983 Tivoli band, 1987-1990 the Royal Danish Academy of Music with P.E. Vilsbæk, 1990-1993 Sjællands Symfoniorkester.

My favorite musical composition: Glenn Gould’s interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations

My greatest musical experience: When we played Wagner’s Ring Cycle.

My most memorable/funny/unusual experience in the Kapel: 2002, when Alfred Brendel received the Sonning award and played Beethoven and Mozart.

When I’m not playing in the Kapel: I’m father of 3, garden enthusiast, winter swimmer and runner.
