Copenhagen is a great city when it comes to music festivals – days or even weeks of concerts all over Copenhagen. There are music festivals for jazz, blues, electronica, classical music, upcoming talents and even Irish music. And now a brand new music festival has been born: SOUND AROUND (Oct. 4th – 21st 2007), a festival that focuses on contemporary composition music and encompasses more than 35 concerts in Copenhagen and Malmö.
SOUND AROUND looks like a noteworthy and interesting initiative concerning both music and the fact that it’s taking place in collaboration across Öresund (you know, the channel of water that seperates Denmark and Sweden). However, the people behind the festival seem to be doing a really bad PR job. I actually found the website via a tag search on del.icio.us – I’m amazed the festival has not been mentioned on a the popular Cph website AOK or in my daily newspaper.
