The Athelas Sinfonietta Copenhagen has cancelled concerts for the rest of 2024 in ‘a final attempt to secure the ensemble’s survival’.
Founded in 1990, Athelas has been a beacon of contemporary music, Danish and international.
The Danish government has reduced 2024-27 arts budgets and the ensemble has been refused a special grant to see it through.
