VinterJazz
3 till 27 February 2022 Winter Jazz is a nationwide music festival that has been in existence since 2001 and takes place every year in February. The festival extends over three weeks and contains about 600 concerts in more than 150 venues and organizers from Skagen to Rønne. The combination of the festival's length plus the nationwide aspect makes Winter Jazz an opportunity to meet international stars on tour, new Danish award-winning projects, and concert themes such as Jazz for Kids, Future Sound of Jazz, Something Else and more. What makes Vinterjazz a special music event is that it is a national celebration between venues and organizers, musicians and audiences, the big cities, and the outskirts of Denmark - a national initiative that is created and takes place locally. However, winter jazz is first and foremost a club festival, which kicks off the season for the many jazz clubs that create an environment where jazz can develop and live all year round. Therefore, it is also with great pleasure that Vinterjazz has in recent years set a record with the participation of up to 150 venues and independent organizers.

Fastelavn
Sunday 27 February Shrove Tuesday dates to Catholic times in Denmark. Before Easter, one had to fast for 40 days, and Shrove Tuesday was a party that was held before entering the strict time without, for example, meat, fatty food, and delicacies. Although Lent lost much of its significance after the Reformation in 1536, Shrove Tuesday continued to exist. What does the word "Shrove Tuesday" mean? Shrove Tuesday comes from German: "fastelabend", i.e., "Fast-evening", i.e., the night before Lent came into force. Before Lent, it was a matter of soiling in some of the fat and delicious things that would not come on the table for the next 40 days. Another Danish word for the party was "faste-lag". In practice, it was not only the evening before Lent that it broke loose. There was partying and eating for several days before. In southern Europe, the similar celebration is called carnival. "Carne vale" means "goodbye meat" in Latin and "carne levare" to "remove the meat" in Italian. Both can be part of the origin of the word "carnival". That's why we eat Shrovetide buns. "... hvis jeg ingen boller får, så laver jeg ballade" "Fastelavn er mit navn, boller vil jeg have!" What is the story really behind the Shrovetide buns, and why do they make us make trouble - if they do not get in the stomach? Shrovetide buns are best known in Nordic countries such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany and of course Denmark. The Shrovetide buns, as the name suggests, are associated with Lent, which was held in the Middle Ages up to Easter. The fast lasted for 40 days and started right after Lent. Fasting symbolized a time of repentance and preparation, during which the individual avoided various forms of enjoyment, traditionally certain forms of food. Fasting therefore meant that one should abstain from meat, milk, eggs, sugar, and other foods. Therefore, of course, it should be marked with feasting and tasty meals in abundant quantities before Lent occurred. With Shrovetide just around the corner, the city's bakeries are already teeming with the first cream-filled, crispy, glazed Shrovetide buns in all the colors of the rainbow, which both children and adults can run down in buckets. Andersen Bakery Where: Thorshavnsgade 26, 2300 København S The bakery at Islands Brygge, which is known for its beautiful cakes, artisan bread and organic ingredients, has thrown the Shrovetide bun as we know it into the air, and created a modern and colorful version! The neat "buns" consist of a croissant base, cream, jam, foam, and a neat lid sprinkled with powder. The Shrovetide bun is available in 7 different flavors - wow! Hart Bakery Where: Gammel Kongevej 109, 1850 Frederiksberg C and Galionsvej 41, 1437 Copenhagen At Hart Bageri, they repeat the success from last year with two different - and extremely tasty - Shrovetide buns. An open made of croissant, vanilla cream, and blackcurrant jam, topped with foam and blackcurrant powder. And a closed version in a brioche bun, which is filled with remonce, dipped in chocolate ganache, and sprinkled with salt. Haps, haps, haps! Juno the Bakery Where: Århusgade 48, 2100 Copenhagen Ø In the last few years, the Shrovetide bun trend in Denmark has gone so crazy that inspiration has also been sought from our Swedish neighbors! And at the popular Juno the Bakery in Østerbro, you can put your teeth into the delicious semlas, where the bun is filled with marzipan and whipped cream. Not stupid at all! From the end of January, you can taste the delights. |
