Upcoming events

Join a Concert at the Jazz Festival

Aarhus Jazz Festival is approaching, so get ready for a wonderful week of jazz concerts all around the city. If you are new to the city, here is the link to this year's program: https://jazzfest.dk/

And if the program feels overwhelming (let's be honest: there are so many concerts and events that it becomes difficult to choose one), do not worry! We have decided to invite everyone to one of the best concerts of this year's festival: Aarhus Jazz Orchestra feat. Kira Skov (https://www.musikhuset.dk/kalender/aarhus-jazz-orchestra-feat-kira-skov)

A little bit of info for the curious ones (skip this if you usually ignore emails and just go to the where/when section):

  • Aarhus Jazz Orchestra is a big band with some of the best jazz musicians in Denmark. It has won several awards in Denmark, and they never leave you disappointed.

  • Kira Skov may not be the first name to pop up your mind when you think about Danish music, but she is definitely a great singer with a voice powerful enough to match an orchestra.

Quick FAQ:

You are welcome to decide whether you want to join us for dinner (everyone pays for their own) or just for the concert. We will be at Aarhus Street Food from 17.45 to 18.40, and we will arrive at Musikhuset at 19.00. We will buy a drink at Musikhuset from 19.00 to 19.30 while we wait for the concert to start, so coming late decreases your chances of getting a free drink. 

The concert lasts for about 2.5 hours, but everyone is welcome to leave earlier to catch buses or simply go home and rest.

Please sign up here before 16 July, 12.00.
