It was on the occasion of awarding of the Queen Ingrid's Honorary Scholarship, that the PH Grand Piano shared the stage with Danish royalty this past month.

On Sunday March 27 2022, a very special scholarship concert and performance took place at Amalienborg, the residence of the Danish Royal Family. Her Majesty Queen Margrethe, Her Royal Highness Princess Benedikte and Her Majesty the Queen Anne-Marie awarded the scholarship for the tenth- and final- time.

Nicolai Kornerup, the well-known pianist and composer based in Copenhagen, works with X Factor Denmark as music producer and arranger, and has also produced albums, arranged for other Danish artists. When he was contracted by the Royal house to create the arrangements and perform for palæerne dansere, it was his wish to include the PH Grand Piano in the event.

For Kornerup, it was the artful form of the instrument that made the PH Grand Piano the natural choice for the event. Kornerup, who also performed at the Queen’s 50th Anniversary celebration, chose it because its sculptural form elevated the performance to a new level. “It is like a whole new instrument,” Kornerup comments, “that creates a totally unique experience, complementary to the dancers and the beautiful palaces.” Designed in 1930, the incredible legacy of Danish Design is also so futuristic and stunning.

Being on stage at the Royal Palaces is a great honor, and we are excited for the next appearances of the stunning PH Grand Pianos!
