Purpur is a seven-piece ensemble of young women drawing on jazz, pop and folk. Their set blends Danish-language lyrics and melodic horn arrangements with pulsating rhythms, and they lean on the large line-up to create tightly arranged music that also opens up for free, improvised passages from the jazz tradition.
The sound is melancholic and distinctly Nordic, yet the band invites the audience into a festive, high-energy community in the spirit of roots and folk music. The concert is part of the HUSET series, which is currently hosting events at other venues in Copenhagen while the original venue is being renovated.
Purpur also has another upcoming concert at Testrup Højskole on 25 November 2026.
