Last year, AU’s hallowed annual celebration was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. But this year, the university is pulling out all the stops. There will be great live music – with acts including Eivør, Velvet Volume and Pernille Rosendahl – at Concert Hall Aarhus, speeches by Rector Brian Bech Nielsen and AU Board Chair Connie Hedegaard and the announcement of this year’s distinguished alum in the Main Hall.
