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.

Lyrics for "Verden er i farver" (The World Is In Colors), written and composed by Kasper Winding and Lis Sørensen in 1991:
Havet er
Så blåt som et øje kan se
Aldrig vil jeg glemme
Det jeg så
Livet kom
Og tog mig tilbage igen
Aldrig vil jeg glemme
Havets blå
Verden er i farver nu
Siden da
Har havet haft bolig i mig
Altid vil jeg huske
Det jeg så
For bølgernes brus
Beruser mig
Nok til at vende tilbage
Til livet igen
Verden er i farver nu
Og jeg er fri
Som fuglen selv
I himlens hvælv
Fri til blot at se
Verden er i farver nu
Havet er
Så blåt som et øje kan se
Aldrig vil jeg glemme
Havets blå
"Verden er i farver"
