Peter Juncker

We have asked our teachers to recommend a place, some Danish music or a Danish artist. This is what Peter recommends.

Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
"I have lived in Copenhagen for many years and experienced its incredible transformation from a worn-out metropolis to a child- and family-friendly city that has been voted several times by international magazines as: the world's best city to live in.

I myself have always had a very special relationship with Christianshavn, with the narrow cobbled streets, the canals and the special village-like atmosphere, where there is room for everyone.

But I also like Frederiksberg Allé, which for me is the closest we get to Paris in Copenhagen. When the sun is shining, there is nothing better for me than taking a stroll with the family up the avenue towards Frederiksberg Have, where it is possible to both enjoy the beautiful nature and the sight of bathing elephants a few metres away. "

Do you have a favorite Danish musician?
"For me, nobody is above Lars H.U.G here in Denmark. I can very warmly recommend exploring his first two albums with the group Kliché and the later solo albums "City Slang", "Kysser himlen farvel" and "Blidt over dig", which for me stand as small sparkling diamonds in Danish cultural history.
All the records take place in a very special, artistically ambitious universe that is both eccentric, poetic and deeply personal.
But at the same time, we are also just talking about really good pop music, which is lifted in a unique way by H.U.G.'s fantastic and unique vocals."
