It will certainly not be quitly the two musical duelists, Mathias Hammer and Frederik Cilius, meets in Tivoli's Concert Hall in a musical duel. Everyone who has seen them in Den Klassiske Muiskquiz knows that, in addition to knowing almost everything about classical music, the two also have well-developed competitive genes that will probably come into play when they are on stage with the Tivoli Copenhagen Phil.

The question is: Which piece of classical music is best? The two combatants must fight for that. Hammer and Cilius, who have shown that they can recognize a piece of music just by hearing a single note of a piece or a piece played backwards, must compete against each other in various musical categories. Which piece is best when it comes to symphonies, concertos or overtures? There is a fight to be had, and we can't reject unsophisticated tricks, crazy stories and hysterical hilarity when the two battle it out over whether Beethoven is now better than Verdi and Bach.

Hammer and Cilius present the series of musical hits during the concert, and you as the audience help decide which piece of music is the best. The one who gets the biggest applause has won and must decide the winning piece, which ends the concert.

Mathias Hammer and Frederik Cilius has worked together for a long time in the showDen Klassische Musikquiz on TV and in radio's DR P2, where the program Hammer and Cilius ran for a number of years.

Mathias Hammer was originally trained as a pianist, but for the past several years he has been a host on both radio and television and has proven himself to be an entertaining and knowledgeable communicator of classical music. Most recently, he has hosted, among other things, DR P1's program Anmelderne.

Frederik Cilius is a satirist, actor and a bit of a multi-talent. He is originally trained as a clarinetist. Today, he is known, among other things, for playing the controversial senior correspondent Kirsten Birgit Schiøtz Kretz Hørsholm in the satire program Den Korte Radioavis.
