Join us for a welcome reception for Erik Pold and help us mark the beginning of a new chapter for UP.
Just as the fall season is really picking up, Erik Pold has taken over as the new head of UP. We hope you’ll all come and welcome him at a festive reception on Friday, September 25. We’ll be serving drinks and snacks, and UP’s board chair, Svante Lindeburg, will give a welcome speech and say a few words about UP’s strategy moving forward.
Erik Pold himself will share his visions and thoughts on UP as a vibrant hub for the independent performing arts scene across the country.
There will be an opportunity to greet colleagues from near and far and raise a toast to a thriving performing arts scene. And who knows—maybe there will even be an artistic performance?
We look forward to seeing you for a pleasant afternoon on Baldersgade.
When?
Friday, September 25, 4:00–7:00 p.m.
Where?
The Development Platform for Performing Arts – Baldersgade 6, Copenhagen
Everyone is welcome—no registration required.
