June 19 - 22, 2024 – KoncertKirken, Nørrebro
Festival & Friends is back in summer Of 2024
Festival & Friends is a classical music festival located in Nørrebro, a multicultural and creative part of Copenhagen. The festival is created by young people for all new listeners of classical music, and bringing people together through music.
The Copenhagen summer is full of joy and late nights, influencing the vibe of Festival & Friends, which attracts hundreds of music-loving festival participants. We strive to provide an informal atmosphere where you can experience some of the world’s best young classical music talents and join us for a beer or coffee between each concert.
Classical music is for everyone! That's why we challenge its conventional perception. The programme of the 4-day festival is highly varied: In addition to the immortal masterpieces from the classical repertoire, we present a wide range of modern pieces and works by less known and marginalised composers. We also blend genres, with top names from the electronic and jazz scenes joining classical musicians on stage, creating new sounds and eradicating established boundaries.
Don’t consider yourself a classical music connoisseur? Fear not. Our festival is for everyone. Grab some friends – or meet some here – and join us for an unusual concert experience!

SPECIAL PROJECTS
Always experimenting and exploring new possibilities
We understand how the world of classical music can feel like a formal and old-fashioned thing – and we want to turn this perception on its head, by showcasing new, exciting and experimental projects.
With these special projects, we want to bring our take on how diverse and all-encompassing classical music truly is. These projects are a core part of the idea behind our festival, and our vision of being an innovative platform for classical music!
