This was taken in Copenhagen in 1925.
The only clue we have is a caption saying ‘Nimb, 1925’. Nimb was a hotel.
Can anyone identify others in the picture, or the circumstances of the meeting?

As has been said so many times by commentators on this blog: please do something about the photo format and make an option to enlarge it!
Yes, please!
Would be helpful.
Nimb is a restaurant in the Tivoli Gardens of Copenhagen
I found a high(er) definition version of the picture here.
Stravinsky, Nielsen, Finn Hoffding, Frederik Schnedler-Petersen and Kongelike Kapel Members – Restaurant Nimb in Tivoli, Copenhagen, December 2 1925
That is Vera de Bosset Sudeikin (who would be Mrs. Stravinsky in 1940) front right.
The photo can be found in large format on the Carl Nielsen 150th Anniversary website: http://www.carlnielsen.org/en/timeline
The picture there includes this caption: “60TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Nielsen’s 60th birthday is celebrated with a concert, a banquet at Tivoli and a torchlight procession through Copenhagen. For a charge, anyone can sign the guest list, which includes many of the country’s most distinguished names.”
