The role, status and importance of libraries are constantly changing. Libraries must reflect today's culture, literature and information dissemination, while the demands on them are increasing with digitalisation. Many experience a reduced focus on the physical setting, the many books and artefacts that libraries have at their disposal. At the same time, the demand for user involvement is increasing and many libraries are constantly considering how best to open their doors, inspire their users, showcase the library's facilities in a new context and at the same time maintain their interest and loyalty to the library's services.

We want to enter into a dialogue with each library to clarify their needs. We then enter into a partnership on concert planning, considering what the concert experience should aim to be - for example, by focusing on a specific genre or artist that the library is prioritising this month.

If you book live music at the library through Limunt, you help establish collaborative creativity, optimise the hosting of the space, communicate and use the many different dimensions of music, highlight your music department and at the same time include the importance of education and knowledge with shared experiences.

We organise musical events that focus on, for example, an artist, a historical period or a musical genre. We focus on music as it appears in literary works and create lecture-concerts based on the music references. With this, we want to create a link between the musical experience and the literary universe.

Morning song at the library

In addition to specific concerts, Limunt has organised and performed morning singing for companies, municipalities and municipal institutions. We now want to implement this at libraries. The morning song is based on Danish classics from the best Danish musicians and bands of all time - and appeals to multiple generations. Our large catalogue of musicians across the country includes quite a few singers who can also accompany themselves on piano or guitar.

For library sing-alongs, each library is matched with a musician who will be your regular sing-along host. The sing-along can be scheduled weekly, fortnightly or monthly and will typically take place at the opening of the library or in the morning. Together we celebrate the Danish song treasure - and all song-loving citizens are invited to a joint morning song. Everyone can join in. Each bird sings with its own beak - the only thing that matters is the joy of singing, good humour and the desire to sing together. The citizens typically meet around the piano and sing songs from the folk high school songbook, the Danish song treasure, evergreens and newer Danish songs.

The morning song creates community across generations and contributes to a shared understanding of Danish music in the past, present and future.

If you choose to use Limunt as a concert organiser at your local library, you help support the sustainable working lives of upcoming and established music talents. At the same time, we match you with the right musicians who can fulfil the task and be the unifying factor that makes it possible to give many citizens a shared singing experience.

What about the technique, settlement, press material etc?

Acting as concert organisers and technicians on the day of a concert can be a stressful and overwhelming task for the simple library staff. Even if you are a skilled librarian, music librarian or similar, it doesn't mean you are the best concert organiser. At the same time, the core task of the job must be solved - at the same time as different events are being organised.

If you book your concerts through Limunt, we will help with the technology, press material and assess from concert to concert whether external sound should be booked or whether the musician's own system is suitable for the location and the individual performance. If you choose Limunt as your concert booking partner, you will always have a professional intermediary who is pragmatic and co-operative. We organise more than 300 concerts annually and facilitate communication between many different types of customers and the artists.

Limunt has a roster of more than 500 Danish talents. We prioritise local anchoring wherever possible. We do this to strengthen local relationships between artists and citizens - but also to create a concert business that is as sustainable and green as possible - by avoiding unnecessary transport.

Book music at libraries

There are many opportunities for live music and concert experiences in libraries. The setting is often ideal for shared musical experiences. As a librarian, music librarian or event planner at a library, it can be difficult to sift through the many musical offerings and decide if each musician or band matches your venue? How can you be sure that the musicians can deliver the goods? How far in advance do you need to book the music? Most importantly, it can be difficult for most people to judge the level of musicians based on a short text, a photo or a scrappy recording from the rehearsal room. 

This is where we come in. We've made it easy for you. We have gathered Denmark's most talented musicians and bands. If you book music for your local library through Limunt, we guarantee you won't regret it. When you contact us, you'll get in touch with one of our skilled bookers, who will learn about your situation, your library, your range of activities, etc. Then we'll give you free advice and a few concrete suggestions for live music for you. We book live music for many concerts every year, and since 2016 we've honed our skills so that we're able to match the right music for each event.
