The Scandinavian Art Ensemble is a remarkable international group uniting musicians from Poland and the Scandinavian countries, brought together by a shared admiration for the legendary Polish trumpeter and composer Tomasz Stańko. The ensemble was formed as a result of the collective project JazzDanmark’s Summer Session in Denmark in 2015.
Since Stańko’s passing in 2018, the ensemble has continued to celebrate his legacy, highlighting his artistry and his pivotal role in the evolution of European jazz.
This concert follows the release of their long-awaited tribute album, launched in May, and marks the beginning of the ensemble’s European tour. Following the performance in Copenhagen, the group will continue on to Amsterdam, Katowice, and Brussels—where they will be featured in the official cultural program of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
