Beautifully arranged captivating melodies

Drift away into blissfulness as Hvalful draws you into their beautiful world where tales from ancient Scandinavian music traditions are united with the sound of the modern 'Nordic tone'. 

Where the light and the heavy meet, we find the folk music trio Hvalfugl. A band that has created its own unique soundscape inspired by the beautiful melodies of folk music. In this universe, the sun may shine from a clear summer sky or the rain may drip from a dark grey cloud in November.

Hvalfugl's original compositions are both beautiful and melancholic. Though the music is instrumental, it provides easy access to Hvalfugl's world. They are primarily inspired by Danish and Swedish folk music traditions that go back many years. Back then, melodies were written to be easily imitated through song and music. Therefore, the strongest and most recognisable melodies usually survived for the longest time. Hvalfugl adheres to the same principle of accessible and understandable melodies that instantly grip the listener, regardless of their knowledge of music.

Lydbrud (Soundburst) - five concerts with young, prominent jazz singers
Under the title Lydbrud, the youth committee of the Danish Musicians Union in Aarhus repeats last year's success and curates another day filled with concerts that focus on young, prominent jazz singers.

This year, on Wednesday 18 July, there will be five concerts with artists from Sweden, Germany, Norway, Copenhagen, and Aarhus. The acts differ, but they all explore something special. Come and be inspired, moved, and enriched.
