Author Concert

Friday 21 August

19:30

Ultramarin

An intimate concert where literature and music meet in a shared space. The evening combines readings of excerpts from Tine Høeg's Ultramarin with music by female and contemporary composers — a continuous exchange between word and sound, where narratives and sonic landscapes reflect one another.

• Readings from Tine Høeg's Ultramarin
• Music by female and contemporary composers performed by Steinaa Trio and Ensemble Storstrøm

Steinaa Trio · Ensemble Storstrøm · Tine Høeg

approx. 75 min.

Late Night Concert

Friday 21 August

22:00

Desert Sounds

A late-night concert with clarinetist Jonas Frølund and saxophonist and composer Cecilie Strange. The programme includes Lil Lacy's Sonoran Desert, performed by Frølund on bass clarinet — jazz-inspired and rooted in Lacy's childhood memories of summers in the Sonoran Desert. In dialogue with this piece, Cecilie Strange improvises on Lacy's material, and the two musicians engage in shared improvisation where composition and spontaneity merge.

• Lil Lacy — Sonoran Desert (bass clarinet)
• Cecilie Strange — Improvisations on Lacy's material
• Joint improvisations — composition and spontaneity merged

Jonas Frølund (bass clarinet) · Cecilie Strange (saxophone)

approx. 1 hour, no intermission

Children's Concert

Saturday 22 August

11:00

Pippi Longstocking

A playful, fantastical concert for children and families inspired by Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking. Pippi is a bold, fearless and wonderfully independent girl who reminds us that you can become whoever you dream of being — a spirit that reflects the festival's celebration of female composers and creative voices. Actor Ellen Hillingsø reads from the story, accompanied by the Steinaa Trio.

• Ellen Hillingsø reads from Pippi Longstocking
• Music by female composers performed by Steinaa Trio

Ellen Hillingsø (actor) · Steinaa Trio

approx. 45 min. — recommended age 3–9, all welcome
