Description was written before the event

Walt Weiskopf European Quartet performs at FredagsJAM in Eksercerhuset in Fredericia - an evening of jazz and improvised music.

About the venue: Eksercerhuset

Eksercerhuset is a music venue in Fredericia, housed in a military building from 1863 that originally served as an indoor drill hall at Bülows Kaserne. After the barracks closed, Fredericia Municipality invested 16.5 million DKK in renovating it as a concert venue. It holds up to 1,000 standing or 518 seated guests, making it Denmark's 6th largest rhythmic music venue. Run by the volunteer association FredericiaLive, it hosts concerts, stand-up and cultural events throughout the year, alongside the neighbouring venue Tøjhuset.
