Therefore, we are pleased to present a special peace concert at FLUGT – Refugee Museum of Denmark, which opens exclusively for concert-goers today. Here you can experience how music brings young people from many different nationalities together in a close musical and human presence in interaction with this year’s violin professor, Cecilia Zilliacus.
The program brings music for the heart and reflection with music from Bach to Boulez.
In the old refugee camp in Oksbøl, experience the gripping exhibition depicting the lives of refugees and the unimaginable losses and challenges associated with a life on the run. Let the music’s hopeful and soothing tones provide harmony in a world that desperately needs it.
At this special peace concert, which is part of Hvide Sande Masterclass 2025, you can experience an afternoon filled with music, faith and hope.
Let the music unite us and remind us that we are all part of the same human race. After the concert, you can “taste the world” at a delicious evening buffet with dishes inspired by food cultures brought here by refugees combined with local ingredients.
We look forward to seeing you for an unforgettable afternoon and evening at FLUGT – Refugee museum of Denmark. The price for the event is DKK 300, which includes entrance, concert and dinner (excluding drinks).

The sound of the clarinet can amplify the strong feelings of desperation and anxiety – but also of hope in music and the human mind. This year’s young musicians bring their musical testimonies with peacebuilding music, in a troubled time with the noise of war and people on the run. Experience strong and hopeful soothing tones that will hopefully bring harmony to your mind in a world that so desperately needs it.

Dreamers’ Circus – the curious and acoustically driven trio – has seduced and amazed audiences across folk, jazz, classical and contemporary music in recent years.

Elva Quartet is a new, young string quartet consisting of Esther Marie Fog-Nielsen (violin), Marie Therese Nørby (violin), Ketil Vethal Kanneworff (viola), and Malte Brix Frandsen (cello).
They are based at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. The quartet began playing together in the autumn of 2023 and has since received instruction from Elisabeth Zeuthen Schneider. They are currently studying with Fredrik Sjølin.
