Tænkepause // What is Music?

What is Music? - Tænkepause: Monday 30 November 2026, 18:30–20:30, Vejle Bibliotek - Spinderiet, Vejle. Admission is free.

Music researcher Steen Kaargaard Nielsen, author of the Tænkepause book "Music", invites us to see music in a new light and consider what music fundamentally is and what it means in our everyday lives.

Afterwards, music therapist Emil Thisted Palmquist takes over. Through examples and short musical interludes, he demonstrates that music can be experienced and used in unexpected ways. He shares insights into music therapy with people living with dementia, where it can help create memories, presence, connection, and a sense of security.

Tænkepauser from Aarhus University Press are small books with big ideas. In just 60 pages, leading Danish researchers explain their field in an accessible and humorous way.

Entry is free, but tickets must be booked in advance. The event is part of the opening programme for ENGEN - Cultural Centre and Library and takes place in the Evald room.
