In Hearing, Seeing and Being, Stine Jensen will examine the relations between identity, art and the way we perceive art. Esther Apituley will perform several pieces of music to accompany this quest.

After the musical lecture you will have the opportunity to join one of the speed tours hosted by the Blikopeners: a nice occasion to reflect on and test the insights gained during the lecture.

MORE ABOUT THE SPEAKER & ARTIST

Ester Apituley
Dutch violist Esther Apituley gives varied classical virtuoso concerts of high quality, with an attractive and wide-ranging repertoire that includes masterpieces by Bach, Brahms, Schumann and Dohnany. Apituley focuses on innovative programming and vivid interpretation. After years of practice in classical music performance she has found the right tone to reduce the distance to the audience and present the music in an accessible manner. In collaboration with other musicians, Apituley wants to pave the way for an innovative approach with lower thresholds, in order to reach a larger audience. Through a sophisticated, self-reinforcing combination of auditory and visual elements, listeners become intensely involved in the music.
