9 June 2024 Copenhagen: Strike Up the Big Brass Band

 


When we were researching activities in Copenhagen, we noticed how many concerts are held at the Tivoli.  A ticket to the park costs $22 each.  So Leslie and I would have to pay $44 for a single day entry.  A Silver pass that allows a years worth of entry for two people only costs $110.  So needless to say we have the silver pass and are already on our second trip to the par. The concert we have come for is a brass band called the Lyngby Taarbaek Brass Band.  It has 30 members and was founded in 1989.  This band has won many competitions and is considered one fo the best in all of Denmark.  They are based in Lyngby just north of Copenhagen and they can really put on a great show.  The concert started a 2 PM and lasted to 3:15.

This is Hans Christian Lumbye and he was called the Strauss of Scandinavia.  


He performed at the Tivoli when it opened and was very popular.  No idea why there are babies at his feet
