Postponed! Winter jazz: Either - Or

Søren Kierkegaard's words experienced through music.

Either - Or is the title of Søren Kierkegaard's work from 1843, and with this work the composers Peter Jensen and Stefan Pasborg want to convey Kierkegaard's words through music - something that has not been attempted to a greater extent until now.

Focusing on Either - Or is rooted in the similarity they experience as musicians, between Kierkegaard's reflections on the choice made and the artistic choices (and non-choices), especially when they improvise. Stefan and Peter, inspired by Kierkegaard's text, have chosen to base their work on a dialogue between the concrete and the abstract with a clear "call/response" narrative as a general communication strategy.

The commission of the work Either – Or is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation's Committee for Music Project Funding.
