A fusion of music, humor and craftsmanship, where award-winning bassist and composer Albert Reinholdt Østergaard invites you to an evening about vulnerability and self-worth. With his instrument, the double bass Ælse, by his side, he shares through communal singing and knitting his personal story of bullying, self-acceptance and the healing power of creative expression.
Albert Reinholdt Østergaard presents his concept of "improvisational knitting" – a blend of jazz music's free spirit and knitting's methodical rhythm. He tells colorful stories about his work as a knitwear designer, the connection between musical practice and handicraft, and how vulnerability and mistakes are important parts of both artistic and human growth. The performance combines entertaining tales, live music and reflections on the themes that have shaped his life.
Whether you're interested in knitting or jazz, this is an inviting and deeply personal story about embracing the mistakes and weaknesses we all carry.
