Astrid Engberg x Who Killed Bambi

As one of four curated concerts, you can now experience Astrid Engberg’s captivating vocals in beautiful union with the acclaimed string ensemble Who Killed Bambi in the atmospheric surroundings of the Round Tower.

The Danish singer, producer, composer, and DJ Astrid Engberg is effortlessly moving between soul, R&B, jazz, pop, and contemporary classical music. As a listener you are invited into a universe of both small and large-scale productions, personal stories, and spiritual exploration.

You can now experience her distinctive and sophisticated sound in the atmospheric Library Hall of the Round Tower together with the acclaimed string ensemble Who Killed Bambi.

The concert is the first in a series of four, all curated by singer and composer Josephine Philip.

Together, Engberg and Who Killed Bambi released the song “Lilies” in August 2025, which grew out of what they call “a modern love story”: namely, a thread on Instagram with countless messages, shared musical enthusiasm, and mutual curiosity that became the starting point for the release.

The doors open at 7.30 pm where it will be possible to buy a drink and experience the two current exhibitions, Ole Rømer and the Great Discovery and AFTERGLOW. Conversations on Light.

Please note that the spoken parts of the event will be in Danish, but the music can be enjoyed by everyone.

Astrid Engberg released her second album, Trust, in September 2023. Her debut album, Tulpa, was highlighted by Bandcamp Daily as one of the best albums of 2020 and also earned her widespread recognition in Denmark, where she received the award for Best Vocal Release of the Year at the Danish Music Awards Jazz, as well as a Steppeulv Award for Producer of the Year.

The seven string players of Who Killed Bambi debuted in 2009. They are driven by musical curiosity, playfulness, and a desire to experiment. In their collaborations with various artists, everything from pop hits to rock songs is given new life through the Aarhus-based string ensemble’s distinctive sound and virtuosic playing.

The concert is part of the Round Tower’s LIGHT YEAR 2026 programme, marking the 350th anniversary of Ole Rømer’s discovery of the speed of light.
