Concert: Bremer/McCoy

What is the sound of Cosmos? The meditative, dub-inspired jazz duo Bremer/McCoy offers their interpretation as they visit the Round Tower to perform tracks from their latest album, titled Kosmos after the wondrous universe.

Experience an atmospheric and intimate concert in truly unique surroundings when Danish jazz duo Bremer/McCoy visits the tower as part of their latest record release, Kosmos.

The goal of the band’s music is to capture and share a worldview rooted in a sense of connection and freedom. In Bremer/McCoy’s cosmos we can meet each other in these feelings in a world without words. With the Universe as their overarching theme the duo captures the wonder and tranquility that comes with gazing at the night sky on a starry evening — looking out into the cosmos.

Listen to the album here.

Please note that this is an extra concert. Bremer/McCoy also plays on march 4th.

The event is part of the Round Tower’s astro festival, KOSMOS.

Spotlight on Women in Astronomy and Physics on International Women’s Day

Join us as we honor women in the world of science on March 8th in collaboration with Women in Physics (KIF).

The day will feature engaging talks and lectures, a meet and greet session, a book signing, mini concert and a workshop with a science community for young women.

Program for the Day

12:30
INTRODUCTION
Maren Malling and Cecilie Cold, chair and vice-chair of Kvinder i Fysik, will introduce Kvinder i Fysik and provide historical and contemporary perspectives on women in physics in Denmark.

13:10
TALK
Desiree Della Monica Ferreira, head of Astrophysics and Atmospheric Physics at DTU and 2024 KIF Prize winner, will talk about her work as a space researcher and the importance of female role models in science and technology.

14:00
BOOK SIGNING & MEET ‘N’ GREET
Anja C. Andersen is an astrophysicist and professor at the University of Copenhagen, known for her inspiring books, brilliant talks, and numerous appearances on podcasts and TV.
Here, you will have the opportunity to meet Anja and talk to her about astrophysics and her latest book, Det Gådefulde Univers. The book will be available for purchase at the event, or you can bring your own copy for signing.
You will also have the chance to meet Dot Pio, a graduate student in quantum physics at DTU and KU, where she researches quantum computing with superconducting technology. Besides her studies, she is passionate about sharing her love for physics, philosophy, and STEM on her Instagram platform @mindfulphysicist.

15:00
LECTURE
Bente Rosenbeck, gender researcher, historian, and professor emerita, will give a talk about the Danish astronomer Julie Vinter Hansen – a pioneering astronomical observer and researcher, and the first woman to be officially appointed at the University of Copenhagen after the 1921 law that granted both genders equal access to all public positions and offices.

15:30
WORKSHOP
After 25 years in the medical technology industry, Marianne Andersen founded the science community High5Girls in 2018 to show young girls and women the many opportunities within STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and entrepreneurship.
Together with electrical engineer and High5Girls role model Anna Krzyzanowska, as well as three teenage girls, Victoria, Emmiline, and Sofia, Marianne will lead a hands-on workshop on printed electronics.

16:30
MINI CONCERT
Signe Heinfelt is a composer and sound artist with a degree in electronic music and sound art from the Danish National Academy of Music.
In a unique mini concert, she will explore music through electromagnetism, radio waves, and the visualization of sound waves. On stage, she will demonstrate both some of the oldest and newest inventions in music technology – including the theremin, one of the world’s first electronic instruments from 1919.

PLEASE NOTE: The event will be held in English.

Kvinder I Fysik – KIF (The Women in Physics Association) works to promote awareness of women in the field of physics. Their main goal is to inform, create visibility, and build networks so that young female physics aspirants feel welcomed into the world of science.

Exhibition with Astrophotographer Jakob Arthur Andersen

Embark on a journey thousands of light-years into space as one of Denmark’s best astrophotographers presents his spectacular images in the Library Hall. Experience Jakob Arthur Andersen’s fascinating shots of the night sky and deep space – the Universe like you’ve never seen it before.

With a telescope and camera, Jakob Arthur Andersen has spent countless hours capturing our fantastic Universe, Solar System, and the landscapes of the night. The exhibition in the Library Hall showcases his finest images – from the Milky Way to distant galaxies.

Jakob Arthur Andersen’s works are a central part of the Round Tower’s astro festival “COSMOS”, which also features scientific talks, astronomy for children, and other stellar experiences – all with the cosmos in focus.

Science Meets Art

Astrophotography demands patience and precision. The process relies not only on technical skill but also on the clarity of the sky and the whims of the weather. Denmark’s climate often poses a challenge, which means that photos are frequently created over multiple nights. When the weather is favorable, you must act quickly—sometimes conditions are optimal for only a few hours at a time. On other nights, the sky can be cloudless and starry all night long.

Jakob’s images require long exposure times and are composed of many individual shots that enhance each other. He views digital editing as his palette and the camera as his brush—astrophotography, to him, is a unique fusion of science and art.

Place your bid

All the works in the exhibition are for sale, but as something special, you can bid on the five largest photographs, with the full amount going directly to Folkekirkens Nødhjælp (DanChurchAid). The auction is already underway and runs until March 21, when the exhibition’s finissage will take place.

Bids are anonymous and must be sent directly via message to Jakob Arthur Andersen on his Instagram account, @clearskyastrofoto.

At the finissage on March 21 from 4–7 PM, it will be possible to continue bidding, after which the winners of the five photographs will be announced. The highest bids secure the artworks.

The sale of other works takes place by contacting Jakob Arthur Andersen via email.

About Jakob Arthur Andersen

Astrophotographer and lecturer Jakob Arthur Andersen opens a window to infinity with his telescope and camera—a visual time machine reaching deep into the vast cosmos.

Jakob is a self-taught astrophotographer and internationally recognized; he has won several awards, including first place in the prestigious International Photography Awards for two consecutive years.

When he’s not observing the universe from his backyard on the island of Falster, he wanders through the quiet nighttime landscapes with his camera and tripod, always in search of new subjects under the night sky that stretches majestically over the dark Danish plains.

This event is part of the program for the Round Tower’s astro festival “COSMOS”.
