The Rock and Pop Scene
The special ambience of the Danish music scene always allows for the unexpected. The Danes still talk about the time when Bruce Springsteen was so inspired by the laid-back atmosphere of Copenhagen that he played a couple of songs with a street guitarist on the City’s main pedestrian street.
Classical
Denmark also has a rich classical music scene with seven full symphony orchestras and music conservatories, festivals and more in all regions of the country.
Jazz
In the 1960s and 70s Copenhagen gained a reputation as an international jazz capital after numerous American jazz musicians set up home in Denmark
