Rytmiske lag og forskydninger, sprudlende guitar-blomster og luftige stemmer smelter sammen, når den toneangivende danske trommeslager Anja Jacobsen præsenterer det nyskabte værk Variationer for percussion, guitar og stemme på ALICE under Copenhagen Jazz Festival i juli. Placeret midt i salen inviterer hun – sammen med Lars Bech Pilgaard (guitar), Anders Bach (percussion) og en special guest – publikum ind i en sjælden, omsluttende koncertoplevelse.

Anja Jacobsen arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem det eksperimenterende, det intuitive og det dybt nærværende. Hun er blandt andet kendt fra Selvhenter, Valby Vokalgruppe og sit soloprojekt ‘a’, og hendes praksis spænder fra koncertværker til musik for film og performance. Med Selvhenter har hun tidligere leveret stærke koncerter på ALICE, og nu vender hun tilbage under sommerens festival med et værk skabt specifikt til aftenen. Sammen med Lars Bech Pilgaard og Anders Bach placerer hun sig midt blandt publikum og åbner for en intens, kropslig lytteoplevelse, hvor grænsen mellem scene og sal opløses.
Gennem flere år har Anja Jacobsen udviklet sin egen kompositionsmetode. De såkaldte “diamant-rytmer” er visuelle, intuitive strukturer af farvede prikker arrangeret i mønstre, der kan fortolkes fra flere retninger. Resultatet er musik i konstant bevægelse, hvor gentagelser forskydes, brydes og opstår på ny. Indimellem træder hendes stemme frem – fløjtelignende, let og svævende – som små poetiske og glimt af noget uhåndgribeligt og sanseligt. Vi ser frem til endnu en uforglemmelig koncertoplevelse med Anja Jacobsen på ALICE til sommer.
Lineup:
Lars Bech Pilgaard – guitar
Anders Bach – percussion, objekter
Anja Jacobsen – percussion, objekter, stemme
+ special guest !
Koncerten er en del af Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2026, der finder sted fra 3. Juli til 12. juli på over 120 venues i hele hovedstaden. Se programmet på www.jazz.dk.

In English:
Rhythmic layers and shifts, blooming guitar figures and airy vocals converge as leading Danish drummer Anja Jacobsen presents the newly composed work Variations for percussion, guitar and voice at ALICE during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July. Positioned in the middle of the room, she invites the audience – together with Lars Bech Pilgaard (guitar), Anders Bach (percussion) and a special guest – into a rare, immersive concert experience.
Anja Jacobsen works at the intersection of the experimental, the intuitive and the deeply present. She is known from projects such as Selvhenter, Valby Vokalgruppe and her solo project ‘a’, and her practice spans concert works as well as music for film and performance. With Selvhenter, she has previously delivered powerful concerts at ALICE, and now returns during the summer festival with a work created specifically for the occasion. Together with Lars Bech Pilgaard and Anders Bach, she positions herself among the audience, opening up an intense, physical listening experience where the boundary between stage and floor dissolves.
Over several years, Jacobsen has developed her own compositional method. The so-called “diamond rhythms” are visual, intuitive structures of coloured dots arranged in patterns that can be interpreted from multiple directions. The result is music in constant motion, where repetitions shift, break apart and re-emerge. At times, her voice appears – flute-like, light and floating – as small poetic glimpses of something intangible and sensory. We look forward to another unforgettable concert experience with Anja Jacobsen at ALICE this summer.
