The Polish organizers originally planned the qualifying round to be held elsewhere, but moved it to the Philharmonic Hall (which contains a pipe organ) to accommodate Magle's participation. He performed Francis Poulenc's Organ Concerto, but was not placed in the top 3. He was one of eight winners of the 24 national competitions that year to be selected for the European final, held at the Philharmonic Concert Hall in Warsaw, Poland on 14 June 1994. In 1994, as an organ soloist, he won the Danish qualification rounds and national final of the Eurovision Young Musicians competition. He received the scholarship of countess Erna Hamilton in 1993. At the age of 16, he was admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where he was taught music theory by Yngve Jan Trede, but after one and a half years he decided to leave the music academy, explaining that he 'could not both study at the conservatory and work independently as a composer at the same time.' He later stated that the decision 'was difficult, and there was a lot to think through,' but that he did not regret it. He was taught piano, score reading, and music theory from the age of six. Magle was educated as a private student of Leif Thybo ( composition and music theory), and Ib Bindel ( organ). His best-known works include his concerto for organ and orchestra The Infinite Second, his brass quintet piece Lys pГҐ din vej (Light on your path), composed for the christening of Prince Nikolai, The Hope for brass band and choir, his symphonic suite Cantabile, and a collection of improvisations for organ titled Like a Flame.ДЇrederik Magle at the organ in Koncerthuset, Copenhagen Magle has gained a reputation as an organ virtuoso, and as a composer and performing artist who does not refrain from venturing into more experimental projects вЂ“ often with improvisation вЂ“ bordering jazz, electronica, and other non-classical genres.
