Concert with Folkekons!

Folkekons invites you to an evening filled with musical presence, tradition and renewal. Come and hear students from Folkekons play traditional and newly written folk music, and experience the meeting between the new music and the old cultural heritage.

The folk music program at the Academy of Music of Southern Denmark - colloquially called "Folkekons" - has been a source of both preservation and innovation within Danish folk music over the years. Folkekons is an institution dedicated to educating and inspiring the next generations of folk musicians. The program combines traditional elements with modern innovation to create a dynamic music scene that celebrates Denmark's rich cultural heritage. The tour is a very special opportunity to hear Denmark's folk music students in the midst of the great development that is studying this one subject for 3-5 years. The concert program also reflects the program's embrace of Danish folk music, as well as folk music from other parts of the world. This all comes to life through a musical meeting between 11 students, all of whom are at different points in their education and development.
