Wednesday Concert: Saint-Saëns, Francaix & Karg-Elert is a classical concert held on a Wednesday evening at Kulturhuset Islands Brygge in Copenhagen, Denmark. It suits anyone who enjoys live chamber-style music and would like an evening out in the city centred on the sound of the instruments rather than on a larger spectacle.
The programme
The evening brings together works by three composers: Camille Saint-Saëns, Jean Françaix and Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Visitors who know one or more of these names will recognise the mix of styles on offer, and those who do not will find a varied introduction to the classical repertoire across different periods and tastes.
The venue
The concert takes place at Kulturhuset Islands Brygge, a cultural house on the harbour side of Copenhagen. Because it sits in a district that is easy to reach from the centre, the concert can be part of a wider evening, with time before or after to walk along the water or to eat in the neighbourhood.
Planning your visit
- The concert is held on a Wednesday evening, so it fits neatly into a midweek trip.
