Under Copenhagen Jazz Festival inviterer Girls In Airports og strygetrioen Halvcirkel til to eksklusive koncerter på Xenon i Huset i Magstræde.
Koncerterne tager udgangspunkt i Imaginal, det fælles værk, hvor nordiske strygerklange møder Girls In Airports’ karakteristiske rytmiske og melodiske univers. Musikken bevæger sig mellem jazz, ambient, folk og kammermusik og udfolder sig i et åbent felt mellem struktur og intuition.
Imaginal voksede frem over halvandet år gennem lange sessioner i København, hvor de syv musikere udviklede et fælles sprog præget af tillid, nysgerrighed og lysten til at lade musikken tage den tid, den behøver.
Jazznyt kaldte albummet “et af Girls In Airports’ stærkeste udspil” og beskrev mødet mellem de to ensembler som en rejse, “hvor man holder hinanden i hånden og på turen mødes i ånden.”
Også live har samarbejdet vist sig som noget særligt. I en anmeldelse fra Vinterjazz 2026 skrev Gaffa, at mødet mellem Girls In Airports og Halvcirkel var “et perfekt match”, og at musikken fremstod “innovativ og visionær, fri af snærende rammer.”
360-graders koncert
I Xenons teatersal opbygges koncerterne i en 360-graders opsætning, hvor publikum placeres tæt omkring musikerne. Her får samarbejdet mulighed for at folde sig ud i et intimt og rumligt format, hvor detaljerne i samspillet træder tydeligt frem, og hvor værket kan opleves tæt på.
De to koncerter er en sjælden mulighed for at opleve Imaginal live i et format, hvor både værkets ro, tyngde og bevægelse kan stå klart.

During the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Girls In Airports and the string trio Halvcirkel invite you to two exclusive concerts at Xenon in Huset on Magstræde.
The concerts are based on Imaginal, the collaborative work where Nordic string sounds meet Girls In Airports’ characteristic rhythmic and melodic universe. The music moves between jazz, ambient, folk, and chamber music, unfolding in an open space between structure and intuition.

Imaginal took shape over a year and a half through long sessions in Copenhagen, where the seven musicians developed a shared language marked by trust, curiosity, and the desire to let the music take the time it needs.
Jazznyt called the album “one of Girls In Airports’ strongest releases” and described the meeting between the two ensembles as a journey “where you hold each other’s hands and, along the way, meet in spirit.”
This collaboration has also proven to be something special in a live setting. In a review from Vinterjazz 2026, Gaffa wrote that the meeting between Girls In Airports and Halvcirkel was “a perfect match,” and that the music came across as “innovative and visionary, free from restrictive constraints.”

360-degree setup
In Xenon’s theater hall, the concerts are staged in a 360-degree setup, with the audience seated close around the musicians. Here, the collaboration has the opportunity to unfold in an intimate and spatial format, where the details of the interplay come clearly to the fore, and where the work can be experienced up close.
The two concerts offer a rare opportunity to experience Imaginal live in a format where the work’s tranquility, weight, and movement can all be clearly felt.
