Kom med på en musikalsk rejse ind i den franske mester Henri Matisses maleri Det røde atelier, når den prisvindende jazzpianist Nikolaj Hess omsætter det ikoniske værk til toner.

I anledning af vinterens hovedudstilling Matisse: Det røde atelier inviterer vi til en koncert, hvor Matisses maleriske eksperimenter og vilde farver forvandles til lyd. Gennem det seneste år har Nikolaj Hess dykket ned i det ikoniske værk og skabt en ganske særlig fortolkning af maleriet fra 1911.

Denne aften kan du læne dig tilbage ved museets store scene og opleve det nykomponerede musikalske værk – som ganske særligt denne aften udfoldes i samspil med bassist Anders AC Christensen og trommeslager Mikkel Hess. Undervejs vil Nikolaj Hess også give indblik i, hvordan han har arbejdet improvisatorisk med at forvandle farver og former til toner.

Inden koncerten vil der være en introduktion til udstillingen Matisse: Det røde atelier ved kunstformidler Agnes Schyberg.

Join us on a musical journey into the French painter Henri Matisse’s The Red Studio – led by award-winning jazz pianist Nikolaj Hess as he sets this iconic masterpiece to music.

To coincide with this winter’s major exhibition Matisse: The Red Studio, we invite you to a concert where Matisse’s painterly experiments and fierce colours are transformed into sound. Over the course of the past year, Nikolaj Hess has delved into Matisse’s seminal work from 1911, creating a very special interpretation of the painting.

At the concert, you can sit back by the museum’s large stage and take in the newly composed musical piece. As a special treat this night, the music will be performed and unfolded in collaboration with bassist Anders ‘AC’ Christensen and drummer Mikkel Hess. As the evening progresses, Nikolaj Hess will also offer insight into how he has worked extensively with improvisation to transform colours and shapes into tones.

Before the concert, we provide an introduction to the exhibition Matisse: The Red Studio, conducted by art interpreter Agnes Schyberg (Please note: The introduction will be conducted in Danish).
