100 years ago, people in southern Jutland and northern Schleswig (Germany) had the opportunity to vote for which country they want to belong to: an exceptional act of democracy! The more northern ones voted for Denmark, and got the right to belong to their home country. While this anniversary is relatively neglected in Germany (of course, they lost some of their citicens, and the plebiscite was a consequence of 1. ww peace treaty), it gives rise to celebrations all over the our Danish country.

Aarhus kommune will celebrate the reunion with a free concert, given by TONICA and the Cæcilia choir. It is necessary to sign up for the event, though. Read more (in danish), and sign up here: celebration concert Aarhus kommune
