Events calendar Denmark

The festival is held every year during the second week of August. Here Silkeborg takes on a western feel as it plays host to internationally renowned country dancers and musicians. Around Torvet, the squares are ablaze with the sound of harmonica, fiddle, guitar and banjo! The shores of the lake take on a Texas feel, with cowboy hats and fringed vests, cowboy boots and plaid shirts! An absolute change of scenery in a friendly atmosphere. And the opportunity to try the Lindy Shuffle!

Every summer, as part of the Summartónar festival, classical music concerts are held throughout the islands, in churches, village halls... or a cave. This festival is an opportunity for composers and musicians to showcase their music in intimate venues, and to get closer to the public. And what could be more intimate than sitting in the semi-darkness of a rowing boat, listening to classical music echoing off the rocks of the Hestur cave? To find out more, visit their website.

A summer version of a major festival in the capital. The programme includes twelve classical concerts over twelve days, organised in the Kunsthal Charlottenborg, in the Nyhavn district. Since 1969, the festival has mainly featured young talents who have been given the opportunity to gain international recognition. The idea is to pair up up-and-coming stars with top artists, to give the public a varied overview of the evolution of the art of chamber music.
