Danes cancel concerts for lack of cash

Danes cancel concerts for lack of cash

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.
