The capital is the home of the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Royal Orchestra, and the Royal Danish Ballet. Danish composer Carl August Nielsen was conductor of the Royal Society and the Music Society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He wrote operas, symphonies, and music for piano, violin, and string quartet.
