Nordic Jazz with Bagland

Experience the acclaimed jazz quintet Bagland in historic surroundings as they take the stage in the Round Tower Library Hall.

For several years, Bagland has established itself as a significant presence on the Scandinavian jazz scene. The group’s music is rooted in a Nordic sound, inspired by the vast and open Nordic landscape, blending classical tradition with electronic elements.

At the Round Tower, the quintet will perform semi-acoustically, offering the evening’s guests a personal and intimate concert experience. The program will include selections from their latest release, “States of Being”.

The concert is part of the Round Tower’s LIGHT YEAR 2026 program, marking the 350th anniversary of Ole Rømer’s discovery of the speed of light. With its sensuous and atmospheric soundscape, Bagland’s music becomes a poetic contribution to this year’s exploration of light, perception, and the human experience of the world.

Bagland debuted in 2015 and consists of five musicians: Jakob Sørensen (trumpet), Alex Jønsson (guitar), Mathias Jæger (piano), Frederik Sakham (double bass), and Frej Lesner (drums). Together, the group has achieved both national and international success.

Doors open at 7:30 PM. Guests will be able to purchase refreshments and experience the current exhibition AFTERGLOW: Conversations on Light, as well as the introductory exhibition Ole Rømer and the Great Discovery.

The music can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of language, but please note that any spoken introductions and conversations during the event will be in Danish.
