In the Beginning There Was Light / Festival & Friends

THE OPENING CONCERT OF FESTIVAL & FRIENDS 2025
◝ ٭ ◞ What are we ◝ ٭ ◞
We are a new, social and fresh approach to classical music. A festival spanning over 4 days, with 9 concerts -- come hang out with us at Nørrebro this June!

◝ ٭ ◞ What to expect ◝ ٭ ◞
We open this year’s festival with music that radiates brightness and captures the feeling of excitement and anticipation before embarking on a new adventure.
The first half begins with Franz Schubert’s Trio No. 1—an adventurous and heroic work full of storytelling spirit. This is followed by a shorter piece by the French composer Germaine Tailleferre, offering a refreshing contrast, like a musical palate cleanser. The journey then continues into the second half, where we are invited into the endlessly beautiful and dreamlike world of Gabriel Fauré’s Piano Quartet No. 1.
