Music in Denmark

Music in Denmark

Classical

Denmark has several classical composers and ensembles of international renown. With more than 7500 organised, professional singers, musicians, composers and conductors of the highest quality, the classical music scene has a solid foundation in Denmark.

Jazz

Denmark has also become internationally acclaimed within the world of jazz, with names like the bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (NHØP) and trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg, to name just a couple.


Contemporary Danish Pop and International Success

Danish pop music is more popular than ever. The hugely successful band Aqua had barely disbanded before a creative twosome drummed their way onto the international scene: Safri Duo. 


The Alternative Scene

In these years Denmark experiences a surge of exciting new talent fresh from the rehearsal rooms. Many of these newcomers can be experienced live at the Roskilde Festival.
