Great for all ages, with indoor seating. Discover new perspectives on music's power through lectures and live examples. Part of ENGEN’s opening program.
Music researcher Steen Kaargaard Nielsen, who wrote the 'Thinking Break' book on Music, invites us in this lecture to look at music with new eyes and reconsider what music actually is and what significance it has in our lives.
After the lecture, music therapist Emil Thisted Palmquist will, with concrete examples and musical performances, show how music can be experienced and used in other and perhaps surprising ways. He will provide insights into how music can be used in working with people with dementia and how it can help create memories, presence, connection, and security.
