Research
The Fourth person

Jens Elvekjaer is currently pursuing a large-scale research project entitled “The Fourth Person” – an artistic research project at The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.

Who is “The Fourth Person” in a piano trio?
The project dives into the dynamics and fascinating and secret mechanisms in a classical ensemble. It explores how an ensemble’s soul arises, and takes a close, in-depth look at how a unique language evolves with all its ineffable signals. Along the way, the project examines the factors that influence how one performs better when challenged by one’s partners.
