AURORA - Live in Nidarosdomen poster
9.3

The Nidarosdomen in Trondheim is probably the most important church in Norway, the seat of the Norwegian metropolitans and bishops for almost 900 years and the coronation site of the Norwegian kings in historical times. In 2017, the exceptional 21-year-old Norwegian singer AURORA had the honor of giving a concert in the holy cathedral, also known as the "Heart of Norway". She performed in front of a sold-out audience together with her band and the TrondheimSolistene (ensemble/orchestra), Oslo Fagottkor (choir), Petra Bjørkhaug (organist) and Ruth Potter (harpist). This concert was recorded on November 2, 2017 and broadcast by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) shortly after Christmas on December 28, 2017. However, some songs that were originally played that evening were cut from the broadcast.

What is it that gives music its unique power? And what, exactly, do we mean when we say that music is magical? These are some of the questions director Mats Andersen sets out to answer in his new film. HOW MUSIC PLAYS US is a scientific documentary which takes us from the studios of some of today’s most prominent Norwegian musicians (Aurora Aksnes, Kjetil Møster, Jonas Benyoub) and way back to the early stages of human evolution where the physiological, mental and psychological foundation for our love affair with music was laid.
