festival of endless gratitude, may 20th-24th 2009



as the summer slowly approaches in copenhagen, denmark, so does an opportunity to experience 5 days of art and music in the heart of the city. festival of endless gratitude will be a 5 day freak-out with music and art, all sorts of noises and melodies.

the idea of this festival was brought on when ron schneiderman (sunburned hand of the man) was given an artist grant in denmark, which gave him the opportunity to travel to copenhagen and stay for the whole month of may, recording music, playing live shows and collaborating with local musicians. when the idea of having his trip culminate in a music festival came to life, an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm surfaced from bands, artists and friends from all over the place. next thing we know, the program was soaked with great experimental artists and musicians willing to contribute.

the festival will be held at an old roundhouse in the vesterbro district and the art gallery will open up at noon each day. the intention is to examine the relationship between art and music, focusing on the bond between new england and denmark. on friday, the 3rd day of the festival, the first ever viewing of the danish documentary "from behind a hill - a tribute to the modern music of new england" will take place as well as a live lecture by john levin on various personalities of the new england music and art scene.

so if you find yourself anywhere near the danish border this week, drop by the festival and hang out, eat good food and take in the magic moments bound to be created.
