Søren Sko & Tivoli Big Band

One of Denmark’s finest crooners, Søren Sko, pays tribute to the legendary Nat King Cole together with Tivoli Big Band on the Open-Air Stage

Since the iconic debut of the duo Sko & Torp in 1989, Danish singer Søren Sko has been a mainstay of the national music scene, widely recognised as one of the country’s outstanding vocalists. On this special evening, he takes on a repertoire immortalised by one of the greatest vocalists of 20th-century popular music.

Nat King Cole (1919–1965) made a lasting contribution to the Great American Songbook—a treasure trove of beloved melodies from early 20th-century musicals, films, and the jazz canon. These timeless songs remain rich in lyrical depth and melodic charm. Now, with the backing of Tivoli Big Band, these classics are brought vividly back to life.

As a child, Søren Sko often heard his father humming Nat King Cole tunes, and audiences will immediately sense how deeply these songs resonate with him. Sko makes no attempt to imitate Cole. Instead, with his raw, unpolished rock voice, he shapes the vocal lines with finesse, brings the stories to life, and captures the intimacy of these evergreen songs with remarkable precision.
