The Danish National Girls’ Choirs "In The Dark” concerts have become a strong tradition at the DR Concert Hall over the past 15 years. With these concerts, the choir marks the transition into autumn through an experience where darkness and calm are allowed to settle, so that everyone on stage and in the audience can fully surrender to the darkness and the power of music.
Specifically, the lights in the concert hall are turned off, and the choir performs an entire concert without a conductor, in complete darkness.
In the autumn of 2025, the "In The Dark" concert featured iconic melodies and lyrics from the 1980s—and in addition to The Danish National Girls’ Choir, one of Denmark’s leading young jazz artists, harmonica player Mathias Heise, also took part.

"Blidt Sind" (Gentle Mind), music by Mathias Heise, with lyrics by Lea Foxman, composed in 2025.
Lyrics:
Slip det der gør ondt
Fri i mit bryst
Jeg holder det nu
Og hvil, hvil din vægt mod min arm
Lad mig slå rødder i din favn
Vend dig om, vend dig mod mig
Væv dit milde blik ind i mit
Må jeg læne mig længere ind
Lære at spejle dit sind
Svøb dine hænder rundt om mig
Lad dem ikke røre sig
Og giv mig styrken til at bære dig
Form dine fingre om mind kind
Hold dem fast og tryllebind
Mine øjne til de falder i
Lad mig forstå hvorfor kun du
Vugger min hjertebanken til ro
Når jeg ligger ved siden af dig
Mærker et bånd der kun kan gro
Svøb dine hænder rundt om mig
Lad dem ikke røre sig
Og giv mig styrken til at bære dig
Flet dine fingre om min kind
Hold dem fast og tryllebind
Mine øjne til de falder i
Lad mig forstå hvorfor kun du
Vugger min hjertebanken til ro
Når jeg ligger ved siden af dig
Mærker et bånd der kun kan gro
"Blidt sind"
