Danmarks Radios Pigekor

[b]Danmarks Radios Pigekor[/b] - commonly abbreviated [b]Radioens Pigekor[/b], [b]Radiopigekoret[/b] or simply [b]Pigekoret[/b] - was the name from 1959 to 2001 of the girls choir of [l=Danmarks Radio] (from 1996 simply [l=DR]), the Danish national broadcasting corporation. Principal conductors in this period were [a=Lis Jacobsen] (until 1961) and [a=Tage Mortensen] (1966-2001). Public funding was re-prioritized in 1983, and the choir was handed over to [l=Københavns Radio] who managed it until 1999 when it was reintegrated into DR. In 2001 the choir was renamed to [a=DR Radiopigekoret]. The name of the choir has evolved over time as follows: - From 1938 to 1959: [a=Statsradiofoniens Pigekor] - From 1959 to 2001: Danmarks Radios Pigekor - From 2001 to 2008: [a=DR Radiopigekoret] - Since 2008: [a=DR PigeKoret]
