KoncertKirken Blågårds Plads
KoncertKirken Blågårds Plads is Denmark’s first private Concert Church, situated right in the heart of Nørrebro in the former Blågårds church. The brain child of Paul Ostrup, director of LiteraturHaus and Björn Ross, artistic director of Copenhagen Renaissance Music Festival, KoncertKirken opened in October 2009. Since then KoncertKirken has become a popular cultural destination for both local, national and international music lovers and musicians.
The acoustics in the main hall is one of Copenhagens best. Since October 2009 Koncertkirken has hosted more than 1000 concerts within all genres, including baroque, renaissance and medieval music, world music, contemporary music, classical music, choir and vocal music, organ recitals, opera, pop, rock, jazz, improvisation, sound art, electronica, ambient, folk, dance, cabaret, cross over and performance art.
Koncertkirken also hosts many other kinds of events such as film screenings, conferences, lectures, workshops, dance evenings, yoga and secular ceremonies such as funerals and weddings. The venue is also much used for rehearsals, sound and video recordings, both due to the extraordinary acoustics and the quiet surroundings.
