BIOGRAPHY
Pianist, composer, and conductor Henrik Krogsgaard Jensen has been a professional musician since he was 17 years old, when he conducted the orchestra in Cirkus Schumann. He released several LPs, including ‘Henriks Dansktop favoritter’ (1972). As a vocalist, he released some duets with Grethe Sonck. In 1972, he made his TV debut, leading the orchestra in Otto Leisner’s popular TV series ‘Den gyldne pil’. With lyricist Sejr Volmer Sørensen, Krogsgaard wrote musicals and revue shows. Between 1979 and 1984, he was chief conductor of the Circusrevyen Theatre. He performed many times on national TV with the DR Radio Orchestra.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
Henrik Krogsgaard was the musical director of several editions of the Danish Eurovision preselection and conducted seven Danish entries in the international final between 1984 and 1992. In the 1989 contest in Lausanne, in an attractive choreography devised for the Danish entry, Krogsgaard spectacularly left his place in front of the orchestra half way through the performance of Birthe Kjær’s song ‘Vi maler byen rød’ to join the background singing group behind the soloist; the rest of the song was conducted by the musical director of that year’s contest, Benoît Kaufman. Just like the 1988 effort in which he was involved leading the orchestra, ‘Vi maler byen rød’ finished in third place.
