The Danish vocal Ensemble, Ensemble Edge and the Finnish vocal ensemble Club for Five will give a joint concert at Fríkirkjan Church on the 17th of August at 6 PM.

In 2020 Club For Five celebrated its 20th year of singing and enriching the world of a cappella with premium Nordic quality spiced up with a dose of native Finnish craziness. The group stands out with its remarkable versatility. A combination of diverse musical backgrounds and distinctive vocal abilities of the five musicians has laid the foundation for a striking musical vibrancy and the reputation Club For Five has today. Having released 12 albums Club For Five is world-renowned for high-level studio work. Their music is influenced by international pop and jazz, but also rooted in Nordic music tradition in their approach.

Club For Five’s versatility has led to collaborations with artists and ensembles ranging from jazz trios to symphony orchestras. For example, the leading Finnish big band UMO Jazz Orchestra has collaborated with the group on multiple projects. In addition, Club For Five works with other groups and singers giving master-classes and lessons both as a band and as individuals.
