Asmus Hanke Frederiksen is currently pursuing his master's degree in classical singing at the Danish National Academy of Music, which will be completed this summer. In 2024, Asmus was selected as one of the winners of the Léonie Sonning Talent Prizes, and this spring he has been announced as this year's Opera Talent at the Copenhagen Opera Festival.
Asmus is a sought-after concert soloist, who has previously 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, as well as the world premiere of Rasmus Zwicki's 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 Randers Chamber Orchestra.
Asmus' previous opera roles include Schaunard (La Bohème) and Masetto (Don Giovanni) with Elsinore Chamber Opera, Aeneas (Dido & Aeneas) with Opera Nordsjælland and Det Svejende Ålegræs (Hologrammet by Katinka Fogn Vindelev) with Randers Kammerorkester. In the 25/26 season, Asmus will play Drokan in Poul Ruders' The Thirteenth Child in concert with Odense Symphony Orchesta. He will also play Le Dancaïre (Carmen) with Elsinore Chamber Opera, M. Javelinot (Dialogues des Carmélites) at the Royal Danish Opera and Guglielmo (Così Fan Tutti) at the Funen Opera House.
In addition to his work 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, some of which he is set to record this summer.
