Music is so much more than sound. It accompanies us through life, connects us with people and creates memories that can still feel incredibly vivid decades later.
For me, this is especially true when it comes to ABBA. My parents always spoke about their youth and ABBA’s music with a sparkle in their eyes. Whenever they talked about it, you could truly feel how many beautiful memories, special moments and so much joy were connected to those songs. And perhaps that is the true magic of music: it preserves moments that are long gone – and can bring them back to life whenever we hear those familiar melodies again.
That’s why I find it so wonderful that Fever is dedicating a tribute to this incredible band through its Candlelight Concerts. ABBA’s music is given a new setting – surrounded by the warm glow of countless candles and an atmosphere that makes the experience feel truly special. And for me personally, it means so much to be part of this wonderful production. I feel incredibly proud and grateful to experience this concert in Copenhagen and to contribute, behind the scenes, to creating a moment where music becomes an unforgettable experience. Because some songs don’t just remind us of moments – they become part of our story.
Another important Part of this wonderful concert was the Venue. As an Event & Experience Manager, I’m always fascinated by how imporant the choice of the right venue is for creating a truly memorable event. Because an event doesn’t begin with the first note, the first speaker or the first aperitif. It begins the moment you enter a place. Architecture, lighting, acoustics, atmosphere and history create emotions – and it’s precisely this combination that can turn an event into an experience that stays with you.
That’s why I’m particularly excited to have discovered Den Sorte Diamant in Copenhagen as a new gem on my personal list of venues for Candlelight concerts. The impressive Royal Danish Library is located directly on Copenhagen’s waterfront and is so much more than “just” a library. Opened in 1999, the striking building with its black granite façade has become a cultural meeting place for exhibitions, events, music and encounters. And as a true lover of books and beautiful, inspiring libraries, I naturally feel right at home here. And this is where the magic lies for me: Candlelight + music + architecture + history + atmosphere. A venue that isn’t simply a backdrop, but becomes part of the story itself. I’m excited to experience this unique combination live.
