Be part of creating the Sound of Esbjerg
Esbjerg Festival and Esbjerg Ensemble invite all residents of Esbjerg to participate in a unique project: The Sound of Esbjerg!
Imagine a piece of music that tells the story of our city – created from our own memories, images, and videos.
Young, talented film composers from the Southern Denmark Academy of Music will use your contributions as inspiration to compose a brand new musical work, which will be performed by Esbjerg Ensemble during Esbjerg Festival 2025.
But this can only happen with your help!
Share your memories
We are looking for pictures, videos, and stories that capture the essence of Esbjerg and life here. Do you have a childhood memory from the beach, a funny story from the harbor, or pictures of our iconic views? Share them with us!
How to contribute
Go to this link and upload your pictures, videos, and memories.
You can also send your contributions by email to the Ensemble at info@esbjergensemble.com or by regular mail to: Skolebakken 137, 6705 Esbjerg Ø.
Be part of something big
Your contribution will become part of an amazing concert where we celebrate the past, present, and future of our city. The concert will be performed during Esbjerg Festival by Esbjerg Ensemble, who are excited to be part of this great project.
"Your memories are an important part of Esbjerg’s history. We aim to bring the stories to life in a way that future generations can enjoy. You will have the chance to hear the result when we invite you to the concert during Esbjerg Festival," says Gabriella Bergmann, Ensemble Director at Esbjerg Ensemble.
Let’s create an experience together that brings the music to life, telling the story of Esbjerg.
