Pianist, painter, poet and professor emeritus Carsten Dahl invites the audience into a dialogue concert built on his own life story, which he describes as difficult and challenged, but also adventurous.
Expect a lively mix of music, poetry reading, painting and conversation, with plenty of room for audience interaction. Themes such as psychological vulnerability, diagnoses, spirit and faith are typically part of the evening. Dahl describes his lifelong "savant autism" and synaesthesia as shaping how he approaches existential questions, giving them colour, words, sound and expression.
The talk is part of a lecture series by Aalholm Kirke and Hyltebjerg Kirke, which invites four cultural figures to explore different aspects of music's meaning for us. The series continues in 2027 with actor Thure Lindhardt and author Dy Plambeck.
