Revues across the country have benefited from the virtuoso, who has both composed and directed the music, and who turns 70 on 27 April.
He has played the piano from an early age, and already at the age of 17 Krogsgaard became conductor. It happened in Circus Schumann.
In 1972, he led the orchestra in the television entertainment program “The Golden Arrow”, hosted by Otto Leisner.
For a number of seasons, he was also a fixture as conductor in major Copenhagen revues at the ABC Theater, the Amager Stage and in the Circus Revue at Bakken. In addition, he has been involved in revues in Kerteminde, Sønderborg, Helsingør and Vildbjerg.
Henrik Krogsgaard has also appeared in various DR programs, including the Melodi Grand Prix.
Yes, his career has flown away, and Henrik Krogsgaard has enjoyed great success. But this has not always been the case in private life, he told Billed-Bladet in 2011.
In 1983, his father committed suicide, and he never really got over it. Nor even if the relationship with the father was virtually non-existent.
– I was 32 years old at the time and played on the Amager stage. When I got home, Mom was sitting in my kitchen and I knew right away what had happened. At that time, they had been divorced for ten years.
Dad had moved to Funen and had a new girlfriend, but whether it was because she was dead and he could not start all over again, I do not know. We had no contact. At that time, I had long ago written him off as a father, Henrik Krogsgaard told Billed-Bladet.
After many years as a resident of Bornholm, Henrik Krogsgaard moved to Hornbæk north of Copenhagen in 2017.
One might be led to believe that music fills it all in his life. But it is not so. He is also a passionate horse rider.
