Aalborg Musikkens Hus favors Robe

Musikkens Hus (House of Music) in Aalborg, Denmark, offers a 1300-capacity main concert hall, a 600-capacity recital hall, plus numerous practice rooms and is home to the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra and The Royal Academy of Music Aarhus/Aalborg. Its music programme offers approximately 300 concerts and live performances a year, including orchestral, choral and classical, as well as acoustic and amplified rock and pop shows. The venue additionally hosts a range of corporate and business events.

The moving lights in the main hall are now all Robe: a combination of T1 Profiles and T1 Fresnels with LEDBeam 350s. The LEDBeams were delivered this year by Robe’s Danish distributor, Light Partner. Musikkens Hus production director Peter Klokker Iversen (pictured) and head of lighting Jonas Kjærulff have made all the decisions related to which lights to specify, which started with twelve Pointes in 2016. They joined the inventory as part of a rock and roll package to offer appropriate lighting for the rock and pop gigs.

The T1 Profile investment of fourteen fixtures happened in 2019, and this was specifically for providing front and key lighting for whatever action was happening onstage in the main hall. When they started looking for a wash light, it made sense to stay with the same family of lights and purchase the T1 Fresnels, which arrived in 2024. “The colour continuity was a perfect match”, notes Klokker Iversen.

Before making a new technical investment, Klokker Iversen and Kjærulff will look closely at technical riders and at the extras being brought in by different productions, as well as keeping an ear to the ground generally out there in the industry, and a combination of these factors led them to purchase the forty LEDBeam 350s.
