“The Corcoran is thrilled to partner with the Embassy of Denmark for the third year in a row to celebrate the holiday season, Danish design, and the collaboration between our talented graduate students and the embassy,” said Catherine Armour, provost and chief academic officer of the Corcoran College of Art + Design.

Ambassador Peter Taksøe-Jensen is thrilled with the continued relationship with the Corcoran and says “the embassy is honored to once again work with the talents of the Corcoran on this important annual event. This year, we have chosen to showcase the largest but least known part of our Kingdom: Greenland. The art will help us to convey an important political and cultural message to our guests.”

State of Matter: Culture, Climate, and Opportunity in Greenland will be unveiled to the public at the Embassy of Denmark on Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 4 p.m.–6 p.m. For more information on the open house at the Ambassador’s residence, please visit www.ambwashington.um.dk/en

Testimonials

“The DC Jazz Jam has provided a tremendous boost to DC’s indigenous jazz scene.  [The] cadre of fine musicians at Dahlak have managed to create a warm, inviting, encouraging, and creative environment at their weekly jam sessions, which is no small accomplishment.  Experienced professionals, like myself, attend the jam to relax, stretch out musically, and network with other players. But at the same time, the DC Jazz Jam has proved to be the perfect setting for younger talent to come out, and have some of their first experiences playing in front of an audience and to learn their craft in the laboratory of a nurturing jam session.  In this manner, the DC Jazz Jam is but the latest chapter in Washington’s long history with America’s classical music, jazz.”
