A.k.a. DR PigeKoret Statsradiofoniens Pigekor

Danmarks Radios Pigekor - commonly abbreviated Radioens Pigekor, Radiopigekoret or simply Pigekoret - was the name from 1959 to 2011 of the girls choir of Danmarks Radio (from 1996 simply DR), the Danish national broadcasting corporation. Principal conductors include Lis Jacobsen (until 1961), Tage Mortensen (1966-2001), and Michael Bojesen (2001-2010). Public funding was re-prioritized in 1983, and the choir was handed over to Københavns Radio who managed it until 1999 when it was reintegrated into DR. In 2001 the choir was renamed to DR PigeKoret. The name of the choir has evolved over time as follows: - From 1938 to 1959: Statsradiofoniens Pigekor - From 1959 to 2001: Danmarks Radios Pigekor - Since 2001: DR PigeKoret
