Party for this year's
festival composer of the year
The festival concludes with a concert that brings together the essence of the week’s musical diversity – and what a finale!

Musical range of the year
This year’s program marks a fascinating combination of musical innovation that sheds new light on the old classics. We bring together young and established musicians – from the world of jazz and the classical scene – with names like recorder player Michala Petri and pianist Amalie Malling.
The very young jazz singer Anna Stæhr performs with her trio in live interaction with the established, innovative Norwegian trio POING, which for several years has caused a stir with surprising program constellations.

Nordic tones and European sagas
Nordic fairy tales and European sagas enter into a fruitful exchange. Expressive songs by 20th-century Alban Berg stand side by side with Edvard Grieg’s classic tone poem Haugtussa, performed by Danish stars such as international Brit-Tone Müllertz and pianist Kristoffer Hyldig.
Everything comes together in a new musical world where Schubert, Bach and Vivaldi also have their place – alongside this year’s festival composer, poet Ole Buck.
