Join us for a special jazz service as part of the renowned Copenhagen Jazz Festival!
Jazz always features in our Sunday services at Eliaskirken, but this week we're bringing something extra special for jazz lovers. Our organist and bandleader Olivier Antunes has assembled an impressive lineup of Denmark's finest jazz musicians.
French-Portuguese pianist Olivier Antunes is a captivating jazz musician with a sparkling personality and dynamic drive. Born in Paris but raised on the Danish island of Als, he studied at Vestjysk Musikkonservatorium. Discovered by saxophonist Jesper Thilo at the age of 22, he won the Ben Webster Prize, earned Grammy nominations, and remains among Denmark's most sought-after jazz musicians. He recently performed for the King and Queen of Denmark during the presentation of the Royal Couple's Awards.
