Faces of Music: Søren Kierkegaard

ONLY FOR THE DIAMOND CLUB - This time with the composers Peter Jensen and Stefan Pasborg and senior researcher Anders Toftgaard.

Kierkegaard will not be attending for good reasons, but the composers Peter Jensen and Stefan Pasborg will. Together, they have dared to focus on Søren Kierkegaard's Either – Or in a new musical work, commissioned by the Royal Danish Library.

What choices does a composer face when setting music to Kierkegaard's words? You can hear more about that on this afternoon, where – in addition to the two composers – you can meet one of the library's Kierkegaard connoisseurs, senior researcher Anders Toftgaard.

The work can be heard in the Queen's Hall on 1 July at 20. The afternoon is a fine introduction to the work, but also a look into the composer's workshop.
