When Fishermen Sing - songs and stories: 20 October – 21 October 2026, Universitetsbiblioteket i Fiolstræde, Copenhagen.

Stories, music and research meet in an evening about life on the West Coast - where the sea bites into the shoreline and shapes the people who live there.

About the venue: Universitetsbiblioteket i Fiolstræde

The University Library in Fiolstræde is a historic library building from 1861, designed by architect Johan Daniel Herholdt after winning Denmark's very first architectural competition. It served as a university library for 148 years until 2009, then reopened in October 2023 as a public venue for the University of Copenhagen. The centrepiece is a two-storey reading hall with cast-iron structures; today the building hosts research outreach, exhibitions and public events.
