    Vocal friends and family - let’s all tune in to some of the gorgeous, hypnotizing musical frequencies of the Scandinavian skies at this traditional "Open Singing". Seasoned vocal inspirators, Line Groth and Morten Kjær, will kick off the festival festivities, guiding everyone through a lush soundscape with repertoire borrowed from some of the freshest talents from the top of the Nordic hemisphere. There will be warm and fun warmups, new melody lines to hum throughout the festival, and a unique chance to reconnect with old friends. Is there any better way to get started?

  • Day 3 - Saturday

    June 1st

  • 16:15  - 18:00
    Do you want to try your luck with a few of the Nordic languages? Want to be a part of something bigger? Are you fascinated with the Scandinavian tone and timbre? In collaboration with "Stemmer Bygger Bro" (Voices Building Bridges) by Aarhus Festuge, AAVF presents the workshop A Taste of Nordic Languages. In this workshop, you will have a chance to study three exciting new arrangements of Nordic songs: one in Norwegian, one in Swedish, and one in Danish. It doesn’t matter if you already speak one, more, or none of these languages. Anyone can be a part of this! Seasoned choir director Morten Kjær will lead the workshop and study the three pieces. He will be assisted by a native Norwegian and Swedish musician so that the pronunciation can be as authentic as possible.
