SUMMARY:A Writer Named Tove
DESCRIPTION:From April 15 through 24\, see an animated documentary based on the life of acclaimed Danish author Tove Ditlevsen\, A Writer Named Tove /Tove i stykke\, screening virtually from Scandinavia House Online! The film will include a virtual introduction by author and translator Michael Favala. \n“I am a poor human. A miserable human. A completely depraved human. I am sleepless as an owl\, ugly as a witch\, and white wine runs through my veins instead of blood. Furthermore\, I am about to sh** myself to death\,” author Tove Ditlevsen wrote following a break-up with her last husband in 1973. Translated and published in over 20 countries\, and the recipient of several literary prizes including the Golden Laurels in 1956\, Tove lived a sort of double life: while Tove Ditlevsen the human was falling apart\, Tove Ditlevsen the writer would sit in “The Oval Room” to analyze and describe her life. A Writer Named Tove asks the question: did Tove live her life to actually live it\, or to write about it? Directed by Sami Saif; recipient of awards including Best Short Film\, Robert Award 2020 (Denmark\, 2020. 38 min. In Danish with English subtitles) \nScreenings will take place April 15-24\, and will be available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here. \n \nAbout the Speaker\nMichael Favala Goldman is a translator of Danish literature\, a poet\, educator\, and jazz clarinetist. He has translated 17 books of Danish poetry and prose\, including Dependency\, book three of The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen\, which was selected among New York Times’ Ten Best Books of 2021. His third book of poetry\, Small Sovereign was awarded a Best Poetry Book of 2021. He lives in Northampton\, MA\, where he has been running bi-monthly poetry critique groups since 2018.

SUMMARY:Music on Park Avenue with Per Tengstrand & Opus - Tchaikovsky!
DESCRIPTION:Music on Park Avenue is back! The popular series hosted by Scandinavia House and Per Tengstrand welcomes its audience back to Victor Borge Hall beginning in the fall of 2021. Beginning in February 2022\, the chamber music group Opus @ Princeton University will return for the final three concerts of the season\, continuing their popular performances with Tengstrand of piano concertos in chamber settings as well as chamber music works.  \nIn tonight’s performance\, Tengstrand and Opus will perform the concerto of concertos: the iconic beginning of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor\, Op. 23\,” one of the most popular tunes ever written. The musicians will perform Tchaikovsky’s entire first concerto from beginning to end\, as well as a smorgasbord of chamber music pieces from Per Tengstrand and Opus. \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; concerts will take place in Victor Borge Hall. Attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. \nThe Music on Park Avenue concert series is supported in part by a generous grant from The Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation and in part by the Lynn Carter Fund of the ASF. \nABOUT PER TENGSTRAND\nPer Tengstrand has firmly established himself as one of today’s most exciting pianists. He has been described by The Washington Post as “technically resplendent\, powerful\, intuitively secure\,” and by The New York Times as “a superb Swedish pianist” whose recital “was rewarding\, both for its unusual programming and for his eloquent\, technically polished performances.”Tengstrand is the subject of the acclaimed Swedish documentary The Soloist\, directed by Magnus Gertten and Stefan Berg (Sweden\, 2003)\, which was featured at the International Festival of Cinema and Technology in New York. \nIn 2005 he was decorated by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden with the “Litteris et Artibus” Medal for outstanding service to the arts. During the pandemic\, Per started making music documentaries which were viewed and appreciated by people all over the world. As this line of work will continue\, the documentary Beethoven and the Freedom of the Will is planned to have its world premiere at Scandinavia House in 2022. \nABOUT OPUS\nFounded in 2014 by Edward Leung ’16 and Jisoo Kim ’16\, Opus (formerly Opus 21) is dedicated to bringing an eclectic repertory of chamber music to Princeton University and beyond. Consisting of a select roster of undergraduate pianists and string players\, Opus presents innovative programming\, embracing both traditional and contemporary repertoire. Committed to new music\, members of Opus were invited to perform the North American premiere of composer Sam Wu’s “dolphin song” at the 2015 APAP|NYC\, the world’s largest networking forum and marketplace for performing arts professionals. \nMost recently\, Opus was the featured artist at the Helsingborg Music Festival in Sweden\, giving multiple concerts at prestigious venues. As cultural ambassadors\, Opus strives to broaden the public’s interest in chamber music and collaborate with other peer institutions and conservatories. Upcoming performances feature collaborations Harvard\, Yale and Columbia Universities.
