History
Late Summer Festival originated in 2014, when it was held with great success at the Royal Court Theatre in Copenhagen...
With the vision of offering West Jutlanders and tourists a high-level classical music experience, the organizers decided in 2016 that Hvide Sande should be the setting – with the goal of helping to reduce inequality on the cultural front in Denmark.
The organizers behind the festival, Anette and Helge Slaatto, have fallen in love with Hvide Sande, the nature and the way everything works in the area – so it’s only natural for them to keep the festival here.
Are there limits to where in Denmark that classical music can be experienced?
We have taken up the fight against prejudice and traditions, and invite you to a number of unique concerts between ocean and fjord.
The west coast of Jutland offers a ‘sea’ of opportunities and offers – this certainly applies to the port town Hvide Sande, where Danish and German guests in particular spend their holidays in the many holiday homes in the dune landscape along the North Sea every year. The offer for guests as well as locals ranges widely from water sports to fishing as well as culinary experiences. Since 2015, Late Summer Festival has taken place in Hvide Sande, which is also home to the annual Hvide Sande Masterclass, which also has a vision of bringing classical music at the highest level to the outskirts of Denmark.
