BRICO Collective X Absalon Quartet

New Music by Copenhagen Composers Featuring new compositions byAnna Bignami // Thomas Cortes // Tom Irvine // Laura Veltri The newly established BRICO Collective are teaming up with the award-winning Absalon String Quartet to bring you new music by Copenhagen-based composers. The members of BRICO Collective - Anna Bignami, Thomas Cortes, Tom Irvine and Laura veltri - have each written a new work for string quartet to be premiered in Frihavnskirken, Østerbro on 26 April. BRICO's composers met as students on the Rhythmic Composition masters at The Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus. Though they come from predominantly rhythmic backgrounds, all make use of classical instrumentation in their various projects that span pop, folk, electronic, and jazz. For this concert they will instead work with a purely classical ensemble, Absalon String Quartet, and apply the musical characteristics of their different disciplines in the classical world. Absalon Quartet are an award-winning string quartet based in Copenhagen. Like BRICO's composers, Absalon's musicians are not from strictly classical backgrounds, with their diverse influences and experience bringing a fresh and exciting energy to the quartet format. They were the winners of the Rued Langgaard competition in 2021, and in 2023 received the Léonie Sonnings Talent Prize in addition to winning P2's Chamber Music Competition. Entry 100 kr / 75 kr for studentsTickets also available at the door.Concert starts at 16:00Doors open 15:00 The event is supported by Dansk Solist Forbund and Københavns Kommune Musikudvalget

GORDON MONAHAN -Speaker Swinging-

Speaker Swinging - med Gordon Monahan, Boaz Barkan og 2 performere. et unikt eksperiment inden for live elektronisk musik, hvor tre udøvere svinger højttalere for at skabe Doppler-effekter. Et helt særligt lydbillede af de akustisk resonans og elektronisk lyd dér afspejler Koncertkirkens arkitektur. De 3 udøvere swinger højtalere og arbejder for at opretholde lydens kontinuerlige bevægelse. Resultatet er en forførende akustisk meditation, der opstår som en metafor for miniature-vibrato- og tremolo-kredsløb og måske endda himmellegemers cirkulære bevægelser. Et historisk værk fra 1982 - for første gang i Danmark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amEwNbVz8vg Gordon Monahan opfører ligeledes "Piano Mechanics" — for amplified grand piano + QUAD SCORES lydevent ved Jørgen Teller Gordon Monahan https://gordonmonahan.com/ Gordon Monahan besøger i april både Møn og København med sin partner Laura Kikauka. Gordon' har komponeret og opført værker for klaver, højttalere, video, kinetisk skulptur og computerstyrede lydmiljøer spænder over forskellige genrer fra avantgarde-koncertmusik til multimedieinstallationer og lydkunst. Som komponist og lydkunstner sammenstiller han de kvantitative og kvalitative aspekter af naturlige akustiske fænomener med elementer fra medieteknologi, naturlige miljøer, arkitektur, populærkultur og liveoptræden. Ud over at skabe et betydeligt antal lydinstallationer og lydkunstperformancer komponerer Monahan også koncertmusik for traditionelle instrumenter. Den berømte komponist John Cage sagde engang: »Ved klaveret frembringer Gordon Monahan lyde, vi ikke har hørt før. Boaz Barkan - er en meget stærk engageret og anerkendt koreograf, performer og udøver inden for dans, performance og kropsorienteret praksis. Bosat i København. Boaz opfører Speaker Swingers med 2 performere; Hayden James Zakrison-Ayres og Maxim Barkan. https://boazbarkan.com/ Jørgen Teller - arbejder pt. med 4 mikrofoner og 4 højtalere i et værk-format han kalder QUAD SCORES. https://www.jorgenteller.dk/ arr.

Strøm og TYFC presents: Masterclass with Talons & Main Phase

Strøm x TYFC presents: Masterclass with Talons & Main Phase May 6th, 2026 19.00 - 22.00 (Doors 18.00) Renowned producers, friends and labelmates Main Phase and Talons (Adam Emil Schierbeck and Bjarke Bech) present an exclusive masterclass and Q&A: going over production techniques, work flow, industry insights, and everything in between. During the session, they will write the beginning of a track, taking us through the process of their work flow. From idea to final form: creating drum patterns and grooves, mixing and exporting club-ready ideas. But also the more human side of things; the perks of co-producing, dealing with management, drunk promoters, and much more. The two Copenhagen-based producers have made waves internationally with their UK-influenced take on everything from jungle and garage to bass music and dub techno. Main Phase played an instrumental part in the speed garage revival in recent years, notably with his releases as one-half of ATW, his duo and label with Interplanetary Criminal. His latest DJ sets and productions have seen him dive deeper into techno and more leftfield productions, while still retaining his signature groove and energy. Talons, fka Lille Høg, first made a name for himself with his unique productions for various artists in Copenhagen's underground hip-hop scene. Seeking fresh inspiration, he returned to his first love of electronic music in 2025. Now producing entirely with hardware equipment, his first EP Amar Dubs Vol. 1 spanned the gamut from ambient to steppers, with later releases exploring more dancefloor-friendly territory. Together, their newly-started label First Touch Archives (referencing their previous moniker) serves as a home for Schierbeck & Bech's more experimental music, which has already drawn support from the likes of Ben UFO, Richie Hawtin and Batu. 50 seats only = limited tickets, available only via presale. Don’t sleep. About TYFC Thank You For Clapping (TYFC) is a platform for sound, music, design and food, based at Heimdalsgade 39 in Nørrebro. Founded and run by brothers Frederik and Jacob, TYFC functions as both a studio space and cultural venue, hosting everything from intimate listening sessions and workshops to exhibitions, live performances and dinners.

NEW DATE Soul Of A Woman - Rosa Salamon, Jordan Jackson, Miss Agada

Soul of a Woman is back for its third year for another joyful evening of live music.

Den Fortællende Jazzkoncert

Der sker altid noget magisk når man vender jazzen lidt på hovedet og tilsætter noget volumen, og en rigtig god historiefortæller.Straight Ahead Big Band Har denne gang taget fat i noget næsten helligt. Benny Carters album fra 1960 og indspillet af Count Basie som en hyldest til den del af USA hvor han startede sin karriere. Big Bandet har valgt at gøre det lidt anderledes. Albummet, men også 30ernes Kansas City indeholder en masse spændende jazzfortællinger som de synes er vigtige at formidle. De har derfor tilsat den dygtige historiefortæller, musikeren Jakob Bonderup, og sammen med big bandet, vil der gennem ord og musik blive formidlet et lille, men vigtigt stykke af amerikansk jazzhistorie. Den fortællende jazzkoncert gennemføres uden pause og har en varighed på ca. 1 time og 20 minutter. Der er inkluderet en forfriskning i prisen.

A Nostalgic Summer Evening

Opening Concert: A Nostalgic Summer Evening 🌙 We're kicking off the festival with three works that each bring something completely different, but together feel like the perfect start to a summer evening. First up is Haydn's Gypsy Trio: playful, charming, and bursting with dancing rhythms inspired by Hungarian folk music. The kind of music that makes you smile without knowing exactly why. Then something more intimate: Schumann's Fantasy Pieces for clarinet and piano. Three short movements, played without pause, that shift from tender and dreamy to fiery and impulsive. A little bit like Schumann himself, who was famously all over the place, in the best possible way. (There's also a love triangle involving him, Clara, and Brahms, but that's a story for another time 👀) After the break, we end with Arensky's String Quartet No. 2, one of those pieces that deserves so much more attention than it gets. Scored for one violin, one viola and two cellos, the sound is dark, lush and full-bodied. Think a good glass of red wine on a warm summer night with people you love.

A Night with a Mad King

A Night with a Mad King 👑 This one is not for the faint-hearted, and we mean that in the best possible way. The evening opens with Sally Beamish's The King's Alchemist, inspired by the true story of John Damian, an eccentric alchemist at the Scottish court who genuinely believed he could fly to France from the top of a castle. It ended exactly as you'd expect. Then comes the main event: Peter Maxwell Davies' Eight Songs for a Mad King, one of the most extraordinary pieces of music theatre ever written. Based on the real words of King George III during his mental breakdown, it follows a king alone on stage, obsessively trying to teach his caged birds to sing. The vocal part spans more than five octaves, shifting from whispers to shrieks to moments of eerie calm. The musicians don't just play, they become part of the drama. It is wild, it is intense, and it will stay with you. This concert is performed without an intermission. Come ready.

Prague, Paris & Poland

Prague, Paris & Poland 🌸Three composers, three countries, one evening of chamber music with some serious main character energy.We open with Smetana's Piano Trio, a work full of urgency, tenderness and drama. If you know Smetana from The Moldau, this has the same sense of sweep and longing, just much more personal and intense.Then a brief detour to Paris with Poulenc's Flute Sonata: witty, elegant and a little bit cheeky. Exactly what you'd expect from a composer who was once described as having a monk and a street urchin living inside him simultaneously.We close with Bacewicz's Piano Quintet No. 1, a gripping, intense work by one of the most underrated composers of the 20th century. This is the kind of piece we love to bring you: the sort that makes you wonder why you've never heard it before.

A Meditative Moment

Come and get your RO PÅ! We wanted to create a concert that focuses on that meditative space—the one where the mind can wander when it enters a state of “flow.” Most people are familiar with this state: the flow we experience when we are deeply focused on work or study, or during exercise, when the mind quiets and it is all about the body moving. Perhaps it is the same flow we feel when spending time with friends or loved ones, where time is literally flying. How liberating and freeing that feeling is! Instead of choosing well-known pieces, the kind you might find on a Spotify playlist titled “Classical Music for Studying” or something similar (no hate), we have delved into the archives to uncover works that are less familiar. These pieces offer a different and more modern perspective on what calm or meditative classical music can be.

Friends Philharmonic

Voices, rhythms & four grand pianos Festival & Friends is delighted to present the full version of SOUND by Lil Lacy. Lil Lacy is our composer-in-residence for 2025–2026, and during this time, we have gathered reflections and statements from musicians and singers around the world, including those connected to the festival. SOUND utilises these statements and is a sonic celebration of the passion and dedication of musicians everywhere — without you, there would be no music. The work is performed by the vocal ensemble ÆTLA, accompanied by strings and percussion. Stravinsky’s Les Noces(“The Wedding”) combines folk-inspired melodies and irregular rhythms in a way not dissimilar to his seminal Le Sacre du Printemps, but in an altogether more comedic style. The work is scored for an unusual ensemble: four vocal soloists, mixed choir, four pianists (meaning there will be four grand pianos on stage!), and percussion, omitting traditional orchestral instruments such as strings or winds.This sparse, percussive instrumentation creates a sharp, rhythmic energy. The music’s fragmented, repetitive structures, with recurring patterns and dramatic rhythms, give a ceremonial, almost dance-like quality that feels both timeless and modernist. Les Noces can be seen as a musical ritual, where rhythm, text, and voices merge into an intense musical experience.

Jazz Compositions Gone Classical

Jazz Compositions Gone Classical 🎷 We love jazz. We always have. And we are so happy that Mathias Heise said yes when we asked him to join us this summer. If you know the Copenhagen jazz scene, you know Mathias. He plays the harmonica like no one else, and in recent years he has been writing for classical ensembles in ways that make the boundary between jazz and classical feel completely irrelevant. This concert presents a whole evening of his compositions, from duos and string quartets to larger chamber ensembles, with Mathias himself performing as well. Our musicians have been looking forward to this one for a long time. And honestly, so have we.

A Musical Adventure for Kids

Family Concert with Mathias Hammer We will present the highlights from our full programme, curated and woven together into a musical narrative. Mathias Hammer serves as our storyteller, and will guide us through this musical adventure. The concert combines storytelling and music, curated for both children and adults with a sense of wonder! Recommended age: 3–12 yearsLanguage: Danish

Big Tunes & Afterparty

Final Concert with grand melodies + party!Mozart, Brahms & afterpartyBy age six, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composing and performing for royalty — yet he never let go of his mischievous and humouristic side. Despite his fame, he often struggled financially, spending lavishly and gambling, all while still producing some of the most enduring masterpieces in history. His Clarinet Quintet is a perfect example of his cheekiness paired with elegance. Scored for clarinet, two violins, viola, and cello, it highlights the clarinet’s warm, lyrical voice, blending seamlessly with the strings. Across four movements, Mozart balances elegance, wit, and expressive depth — from the playful Allegro to the voice-like Larghetto. Every note feels perfectly placed, and knowing Mozart’s cheeky personality makes the music sparkle even more.Closing the festival, we present Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F Minor, a Romantic masterpiece completed in 1864. Scored for piano and string quartet, it balances intensity, lyricism, and intricate dialogue between the instruments. Across four movements, the music moves from stormy, dramatic passages to tender, singing melodies, with the piano fully integrated — giving it true main-character energy.Brahms was a perfectionist: he destroyed works he deemed imperfect, including a piano quartet that was only reconstructed decades later. You might not think so, if you have heard Brahms’ compositions, but the composer was shy – often hiding behind a music stand during rehearsals. This work is anything but. After this concert – we would like to invite everyone to join us at our Afterparty. After last year's success, it's definitely something we had to bring back this year. See you ;-)

Benjamin Koppel & Anders Koppel Duo

Anders Koppel og Benjamin Koppels duokoncert i Svenska Gustafskyrkan3.7.26 kl.15 vil være en sjælden mulighed for at opleve far og søn med musik fra et livslangt musikalsk fællesskab. Allerede som 3-årig var Benjamin ofte med, når hans far Anders turnerede med sit legendariske orkester Bazaar. Da Benjamin var 8-10 år skrev og indspillede de sange sammen, og i 1992, da Benjamin allerede var virtuos på saxofon, lavede de en trio med percussionisten Jacob Andersen. Trioen udgav to CD’er, Kakophonia (1999) og Katalogue (2002). Det er også blevet til en hel række kompositioner fra Anders’ hånd skrevet til sønnen, deriblandt 5 saxofonkoncerter, kammermusik og senest det store værk, Mulberry Street Symphony (2017) for jazztrio og symfoniorkester, der har fået stor international opmærksomhed. Anders og Benjamin Koppel har desuden spillet koncerter og indspillet CD’er med internationale stjerner som pianisten Kenny Werner, trommeslageren Brian Blade og bassisten Miroslav Vituos (Weather Report), og har desuden en lang række udgivelser i eget navn. Sidst, men ikke mindst har Anders og Benjamin Koppel spillet duokoncerter med Benjamins altsaxofon og Anders’ legendariske Hammondorgel B3 i centrum, og de har igennem årene udviklet et helt særligt, tæt og åbent sammenspil. Det melodiske og originale repertoire bidrager de begge til, og koncerterne er præget af far og søns næsten telepatiske improvisationer. Anders Koppel (født 1947) er kendt for den ikoniske orgellyd først i Savage Rose, som han var medstifter af, og som var Danmarks første store internationale rockband, der blandt andet spillede på Newport Jazz Festival i 1969. Spillede i mange år i Bazaar (1976-2013) sammen med Peter Bastian og Fl.Quist Møller. Har turneret og indspillet med sangere som Trille og Benny Holst. Har desuden fra 2019 en duo med cellisten Henrik Dam Thomsen (to cd-udgivelser). Anders Koppel har skrevet en lang række orkester-, kammermusik-, og vokalværker, deriblandt 40 koncerter for solist og symfoniorkester, og han har desuden lavet musik til 20 balletter og mere end 150 film. Benjamin Koppel (født 1976) har igennem mange år samarbejde med en lang række store jazznavne som Phil Woods, Kenny Werner, Scott Colley og Brian Blade. Han har udgivet over 50 album som solist, deltaget på over 100 andre og er desuden forfatter til romanerne Annas Sang og Sommerfuglens Stemme. Han har spillet med Paul Bley, Charlie Mariano, Bobby Watson, Larry Goldings, Jack DeJohnette med mange flere og turnerer jævnligt i hele verden. I 2011 modtog han den franske ridderorden L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for sin indsats for udviklingen af fransk og international kultur.

Noah Rosanes Refleksionskoncert feat. Thomas Fonnesbæk

Thomas FonnesbækPlaceret med udsigt over Øresund præsenterer Langelinieskuret et spetakulært åbnings-act til Jazzfestivalen. Med Noah Rosanes Refleksionskoncert feat. Thomas Fonnesbæk forenes komposition, teknologi og improvisation og sammen med publikum skaber de et Refleksionsværk, som skyder jazzfestivalen igang.Når Noah Rosanes og Thomas Fonnesbæk mødes til denne særlige interaktive Refleksionskoncert under jazzfestivalen, bliver det en sanselig og levende koncertoplevelse, hvor komposition, improvisation, teknologi og publikums egne refleksioner smelter sammen.Aftenens særlige spænding ligger i mødet mellem Rosanes' atmosfæriske, guitarbårne univers og Thomas Fonnesbæks virtuose og dybt musikalske basspil. Begge musikere arbejder åbent og lyttende, og koncerten får derfor et stærkt improvisatorisk element, hvor stemninger, intensitet og retning opstår i nuet.Publikum guides først gennem et sammenhængende musikalsk forløb designet til at føre dem rundt i flere hjørner af deres sind – til indre ro, fordybelse og nye perspektiver.Publikum som medskabereEfterfølgende inviteres publikum til anonymt at sende de refleksioner, tanker eller billeder ind, der opstod i dem under koncerten. Disse ord vækkes afslutningsvis til live af AI-stemmer – mens Rosanes og Fonnesbæk improviserer til publikums indsendte refleksioner og skaber en unik oplevelse skabt af musikerne teknologi og publikum i fællesskab.Med mødet mellem Rosanes og Fonnesbæk får Refleksionskoncerten en ny dimension: et åbent musikalsk felt, hvor jazzens improvisation, publikums refleksioner og teknologien smelter sammen i én samlet oplevelse. Det er en positiv og kunstnerisk måde at bruge teknologi på: ikke til at erstatte mennesker, men til at forbinde dem.Det er førstegang Langelinieskuret er en del af Jazzfestivalen. Stedet er et fredet kulturarvsbyggeri, der i dag danner ramme om både historie, butikker, vinbar og events. Med sin unikke placering ved Øresund og den lange promenade er skuret blevet et levende mødested, hvor byens historie møder nutidens byliv.Noah Rosanes (f. 1976) er komponist, guitarist, producer og kunstner, der arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem komposition, teknologi og publikumsinvolvering. Han har skabt Refleksionskoncerter på bl.a. Planetarium, Glyptoteket og Roskilde Domkirke, været huskunstner på Christiansborg og står bag det tværkunstneriske projekt Unify på Roskilde Festival.Thomas Fonnesbæk (f. 1977) er en af dansk jazz' stærkeste bassister og improvisatorer. Modtager af Ben Webster Prisen 2021, har han spillet med navne som Paolo Fresu, Enrico Pieranunzi, Justin Kauflin, Stefano Bollani og Harvey Mason, og er herhjemme kendt for sit anmelderroste duosamarbejde med Sinne Eeg, der modtog en Danish Music Award i 2015.----Langelinieskurets Vinbar og Event er et unikt koncertrum ved Øresunds blinkende vand.

Marie Carmen Koppel

Marie Carmen Koppel med pianist Steen Rasmussen. En oplevelse – En af Danmarks største stemmer. Marie Carmen Koppel har gennem de sidste 25 år opbygget et stort og trofast koncertpublikum. Med sin store stemme fylder hun kirker, spillesteder og kulturhuse landet over med intensitet, nærvær og musikalitet på internationalt niveau. Fra Helle Hellstern anmeldelse i POV international: ” Sådan leverer man en koncert med egne originaler af høj klasse og unik vokal spændvidde, krydret med velkendte soul-, gospel- og reggaeklassikere, samtidig med at man formår at holde fødderne på jorden og underholde sit blandede publikum med sjove anekdoter fra en lang og imponerende karriere.” ” Jeg tager mig selv i flere gange at tænke, at danskerne er heldige. Heldige fordi Marie Carmen Koppel kom tilbage til Danmark efter de to lærerige år i USA, hvor nervøsitet og tvivl måtte holdes i ave og talentet udvikles. Heldige at vi har musikere med et så internationalt format i landet, og heldige at være vidner til hendes formåen og rejse, som hun deler med stor autenticitet.” Hun har placeret sig i dansk musikliv som Danmarks soul dronning med en stemme, der ofte bliver sammenlignet med Whitney Houstons. Whitney Houston er også Marie Carmens erklærede idol.Marie Carmen Koppels repertoire spænder vidt fra soul, gospel og over til Jazzen som også står Marie Carmens hjerte nær. Hun synger sine egne sange samt fortolkninger af hendes yndlingssange. Alle hentet fra hendes lange karriere og 10 solo Albums. Marie Carmen Koppel er aktuel med sin meget roste erindrings bog "Mit glitrende kludetæppe" Der udkom i januar på forlaget Peoples.

Langelinieskurets Vinbar er del af Copenhagen Jazz Festival 3-5 juli 2026 Bogkoncert med Iben Hjejle, Astrid Koppel og Benjamin Koppel Benjamin Koppels debutroman Annas sang er en bog fyldt med musik, og til sommer folder historien om Anna sig ud til en intim bogkoncert i Langelinieskuret. Søndag d. 5 juli inviterers publikum til en bogkoncert med oplæsning af Iben Hjejle og livemusik med sangerinde Astrid Koppel og Benjamin Koppel.

Prisvinder: Martha Prisen 2023 · Årets Forfatter Plusbog · Læsernes Bogpris 2023 · Mofibo Awards 2023. Mere om arrangementets forløb: Benjamin og Annas mange samtaler inspirerede ikke bare til romanen Annas sang, men også til et musikalsk værk Annas Dollhouse, hvor Benjamin har videregivet historierne til sangerinde og tekstforfatter Cæcilie Norby, der har poetiseret Annas fortællinger og sat tekst til Benjamins sangcyklus, der består af de ni sange, som udkom samtidig med bogen. Annas historie er en medrivende fortælling om pligt, social kontrol, ensomhed, forfølgelse og krig, men også om kunst, ukueligt livsmod og den alt-overvindende kærlighed - også den til musikken. Denne aften vil Benjamins datter Astrid Koppel føre os ind i Annas verden, akkompagneret af Benjamin Koppel, mens skuespillerinde Iben Hjejle vil læse passager op, musikken flettes ind og publikummet tages med til den store litterære overraskelse, den uhyre anmelderroste roman: Annas sang.

They are often compared by reviewers to The Manhattan Transfer, but above all Dynamic has a sound entirely of its own, as the tightly knit group plays with combinations of voices and instruments. With their new project (st)Ages, Dynamic creates a concert experience of a very special nature. The repertoire, a mix of beloved jazz standards and original compositions, presents stages, places, and phases in a human life - from its delicate beginnings to old age. A newborn child that comes into the light, a teenager with an ukulele, a father’s love and pride, falling in love, having too much on your plate, mood swings, abandoned places, forgetting, acceptance, honking cars, dealing with jerks, silence in nature, hope and joy. Swing, Latin, groove, ballads - Dynamic’s renowned versatility and musicality will be on full display. There is room for humor, poetry, and reflection in this varied and captivating musical journey, presented in the beautiful setting and acoustics of Literaturhaus. Dynamic performs regularly in Denmark and abroad and has released critically acclaimed albums.

Ellen Bick Asmussen, Svend Asmussen's widow, May, 2022 "Skilled musicians are characterized by making everything sound easy" Kaj Skaaning, Live Jazz, 2017 ”You are so skilled that you can sing arrangements that no one else in Denmark has the capacity to perform, and you do it in a charming way, with fantastic back up from the super good musicians, and of course Al Jarreau’s little brother, Paul Kim, in the front” Niels Abild, Band leader, Kansas City Stompers "That sounds like Manhattan Transfer” Jimmy Rømer, Frederiksborg Amts Avis, 22 September, 2016 Links Website: www.dynamicjazz.dk Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DynamicVocalJazz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dynamicjazz/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dynamicjazz.dk Albums on streaming services: https://www.dynamicjazz.dk/thisisdynamic.html

Bag Lukkede Øjne - Hypnagogia

Bag Lukkede Øjne – Hypnagogia er en sanselig, tværkunstnerisk musikdramatisk forestilling udviklet af Nadia Okrusko og Rika Yasui. Publikum føres ind i det skrøbelige øjeblik mellem vågen og søvn. Virkeligheden opløses, drømme tager form, og et monster træder frem. Med gensidig nysgerrighed forvandles frygt til genkendelse – måske bor monsteret i os selv. Musik, dans og video danner et poetisk univers, hvor børn og voksne sammen oplever fortryllende fortællinger i godnathistoriens magiske rum. Forestillingen er en del af Golden Days Festivalen. Dørene åbner kl. 17:30
