The Music and Theater Folk High School

Music and Theater Folk High School was founded in 1984 by politician and musician Henrik Svane and Lars Bo Smith as the South Jutlandic Folk High School for Music and Theater (Danish: Den Sønderjyske Højskole for musik og teater), but changed its name in 2000.

[2] There was also a song, In Our Hearts Begin (Danish: I hjerterne begynder) commissioned for the opening with text by Thorkild Bjørnvig and music by Christian Alvad.

[3] Shortly after the school opened, plans were begun on a performance hall designed by Carston Hoff and Susanne Ussing.

The 500 square meter hall has room for over 300 people and is host to a variety of cultural activities, including rock, classical and jazz concerts,[4] comedy acts,[5] theatrical plays and talks.

[7] In 2022, due to economic difficulties and a low student sign-up, the school went bankrupt and was forced to close its doors.
