Glen Montanaro live in Copenhagen

Experience Glen Montanaro live on July 9th

Glen Montanaro, a Canadian composer and performer, will present a concert at Husumvold Church in Copenhagen, Denmark on July 9th, 2026. Montanaro’s musical style is primarily centered around solo piano improvisation, often described as atmospheric and meditative. His compositions frequently draw inspiration from natural landscapes and employ extended techniques on the piano to create rich harmonic textures and evocative soundscapes. He is known for his long-form improvisations and a minimalist aesthetic.

Husumvold Church dates back to the 12th century, originally constructed as a Romanesque fieldstone church. Significant alterations were made in the late Gothic period during the 15th century, including the addition of a vaulted ceiling and larger windows. The church underwent restoration in 1902-1903 led by architect Martin Borch. It features notable medieval frescoes discovered during restoration work, depicting scenes from the life of Christ and various saints. The acoustics within Husumvold Church are considered particularly well-suited for vocal and instrumental performances due to its stone construction and internal volume. It remains an active parish church within the Church of Denmark.
