Concert and Lecture: Music as a Path to Mental Wellbeing

The evening takes place in Café HØK and is divided into two parts, combining expert presentations, personal stories, and live music.

7:00 PM-7:45 PM: Music and Mental Health - Lecture by Lars Rye Bertelsen
Lars Rye Bertelsen holds a PhD in music therapy with over 25 years of experience. He has worked in psychiatry at Aalborg University Hospital, runs a private music therapy clinic, and teaches at Aalborg University. In his presentation, he shares his knowledge of how music can be used to create calm, regulate emotions, reduce stress and anxiety, and strengthen communities - both in professional settings and in everyday life.

8:00 PM-9:00 PM: Intimate Concert with YIDA
22-year-old Ida Tan performs under the artist name YIDA, presenting her own songs with personal stories. For Ida, music is a tool to feel herself and regulate emotions - something she describes as a form of medicine. As part of the concert, she also facilitates group singing.
