Asmus Hanke Frederiksen is currently pursuing his postgraduate degree in classical music at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. In 2024, Asmus was selected as one of the winners of the Léonie Sonning Talent Prizes, and in 2025 he was chosen as the National Opera Talent at the Copenhagen Opera Festival.

At just 27 years old, Asmus is already a sought-after concert soloist, who has worked with the Odense Symphony Orchestra as soloist in Handel's Messiah, Ravel's Don Quichotte à Dulcinée and Fauré's Requiem. With the South Danish Philharmonic, Asmus has performed Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem with conductor Michael Schønwandt, as well as the world premiere of Rasmus Zwicki's choral and orchestral piece, Der er vi. Additionally, he has been soloist in Nielsen's 3rd Symphony with the Faroese Symphony Orchestra and Kim André Arnesen's Tuvayhun with The Danish Sinfonietta.

Opera engagements include: Schaunard (La Bohème) and Masetto (Don Giovanni) with Elsinore Chamber Opera, Aeneas (Dido & Aeneas) with Opera Nordsjælland, Det Svejende Ålegræs (Hologrammet by Katinka Fogn Vindelev) with The Danish Sinfonietta, Drokan in Poul Ruders' The Thirteenth Child with Odense Symphony Orchestra, and Le Mari (Les Mamelles des Tirésias) at the Danish National Academy of Music.

In addition to his work with orchestras and choirs, Asmus Hanke Frederiksen has also given several solo concerts with both lieder and opera arias. Last year he was part of series of concerts, bringing forgotten Danish female composers into the spotlight, where he performed songs by Tekla Griebel-Wandall. On 25 August 2025, he gave the National Opera Talent recital at the Copenhagen Opera Festival, which is available for streaming through the Danish National Radio Broadcast.

Future engagements include: Le Dancaïre (Carmen) with Elsinore Chamber Opera, M. Javelinot (Dialogues des Carmélites) at the Royal Danish Opera, Milo in Fugl (Bird), a new commission by Jesper Nordin, and Guglielmo (Così Fan Tutti) at the Funen Opera House.
