What happens when classical music meets folk music, blending audiences and traditions from two distinct music scenes into one festival? What opportunities arise from hosting a festival at a castle and in the woods? You can explore these questions in depth during a panel discussion hosted by Frederiksdal Chamber Folk Festival, Frederiksdal Slot, TEMPI and Art Music Denmark at Frederiksdal Slot.

The panel discussion will take place in the castle’s unique garden hall and will delve into the festival’s vision of uniting contrasts and fostering community across genres and formats.

The discussion will also address the festival’s contributions to sustainability, both locally and globally.
