Musikhuset VÆKST (Eng. The Music Hall GROWTH) is a new initiative whose purpose is to create a dynamic, enterprising and supportive environment for a part of the country’s entrepreneurs, who today lacks rehearsal rooms and a suitable place to meet and develop concerts, concepts and host auditions.

32 ensembles and musicians have already reacted to the “call for interest” which we sent out in the beginning of July in collaboration with Musikhuset København. A panel of professional musicians assigned by Musikhuset København and Art Music Denmark will choose a number of ensembles within the next weeks, which will get a residency in Musikhuset for a year.

The underlying idea behind the initiative is to offer ensembles a chance to develop their innovative musical and artistic projects during their residency. The community in Musikhuset shall also invite to collaborate with the other chosen ensembles for the residency as well as the other actors in Musikhuset.

We are very happy that Det Obelske Familiefond so willingly has decided to support the project, which will play an important role in developing and helping the musical ecosystem.

Musikhuset VÆKST is a collaboration between Musikhuset København and Art Music Denmark.
