Søren Sætter-Lassen reads from H.C. Andersen's travel book En Digters Bazar, the account of his journey to the Orient in 1840-41, while Trio con Brio Copenhagen brings the journey to life in music. The programme is built around the reading and the music together, mixing drama, humour and a range of exotic sounds.
The show touches on a restless period in Andersen's life, when his travels across Europe and beyond preceded some of his best-loved fairy tales, among them The Snow Queen and The Ugly Duckling.
