Copenhagen invites you to get winter jazzy for the next two weeks!

The annual Copenhagen Winter Jazz festival has kick-off today and runs for two full weeks, with big and small jazz concerts all over Denmark.

One of the ideas behind the Winter Jazz festival is to put focus on all the dedicated jazz places all over Denmark, and to encourage different music venues to be more jazzy..

Most of the concerts are being held at small music venues and have free entries.

So get out there – support your local music café or bar and get jazzier! It will definitely keep you warm in the winter cold!

Stadens Museum for Kunst, Christiania - ask for directions once you enter the free town. Show map

17:00 – ?? // no entrance fee

Fatamorgana – a school that nurses artistic photographers, is hosting a vernissage friday at Stadens Museum for kunst at Christiania.

I personally recommend this, as I happen to know one of the exhibiters and if his work is the standard, I predict that the exhibition will be amazing.

Beers and beats are available at the gallery.

School of Design & Architecture, Philip de Langes alle 10 (Holmen), Christianshavn Show map

sat: 11:00 – 17:00, sun: 11:00 – 15:00 // no entrance fee

I know it’s not December yet – but we are getting close; and if you are a part of the bunch that already sings carols in august – I’m sure you won’t mind a Christmas market in late November.

This weekend the school of Design & Architecture opens the doors to the annual Christmas Market. Here you’ll find the usual christmas snacks combined with different unique items, arty artefact and handicrafts all for sale and all made by the very talented students.

The premises and general atmosphere are very “hyggelige” and might be enought to bring you into the christmas spirit – that is, if you haven’t already caught it.

The Opera (ask for directions), Christiania Show map

22:00 – 05:00 // 50 kr.

“A night off.
A night of
only YES
cause there´s no no in YES.

It´s all about the flirtatious dance friendly music,
seductive lights, creative decorations and celebrating
the diversity in the electronic music scene.
We´ll give it our best so you won´t say no to the above
or no to YES.”

If you haven’t partied in the Opera at Christiania, why not let this be your first time?

Under Knippels Bridge (towards Christianshavn) Show map

17:30-20:30 both days // Free entrance, menu 42 Dkk.

Do you appreciate genuine everyday meals? Over an open fire under the bridge, sun in your face, swinging vibrations of New Orleans Jazz in your ears and the sound of waves rocking the waterfront?

Then you should definitely go down past Aarstiderne who will open a two-day only restaurant under Knippelsbro.

Aarstiderne are known for delivering organic fruit and vegetable boxes to your door and so there will be one meal on the menu in the POP-UP restaurant for 42 Dkk. per person. The exact same price as if you get all commodities delivered as a meal box and cook it yourself.

Wine wholesaler Rosforth & Rosforth will be selling rustic wine from the wine bar. So just bring a good appetite and when you reach the bridge then go for the smell of herbs and hot spices. See you under the bridge.

Loppebygningen, Christiania, Sydområdet 4 A, 2.tv, 1440 København K Show map

14:00 – 19:00 // free entrance

The art gallery Stadens Museum for kunst – not to be confused with Statens Museum for kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), is celebrating the 40th year anniversary of the freetown Christiania.

In this context Stadens Museum for kunst will soon reveal a program for  2011, only presenting artists with some kind of connection to Christiania.

The year of tributes to the freetown begins with the “work in progress” exhibition White canvasses and tightened frames where artist Trine Sørensen, day by day will make art happen together with other Christianian artists.

On the floor, Anders Hansen is exhibiting his REPOSE chairs – build by fragments from the Iron-lot; No paint - just rust and zinc.

The vernissage is a great oportunity to combine a visit to Christiania together with art and I’m sure – a festive atmosphere.

@ Danish Architecture Centre, 27B, Copenhagen K Show map

19:30-22:30 // optional entrance fee

Pecha Kucha Copenhagen is in a Christmas mood. They will light up the fire place and host a Christmas edition of the event in the location where Pecha Kucha Copenhagen saw its light: Danish Architecture Centre.

Because it is Christmas, all of the entrance fee will be donated to charity. So choose yourself how much you want to give in entrance and give your suggestion to what to money should be given to.

Come and be part of the Pecha Kucha format: 20 images shown for 20 seconds and hear about projects or interesting ideas. After the presentations, there will be a shout-out where you can promote an event, place, project or idea.

The programme will be published later on on the Facebook page, so we are not sure whether some of the presentations are in English.
