Mother of the Sea
A captivating and climate-relevant story in music and images about the ocean – and about our shared connection to life below the surface.
The myth of Sassuma Arnaa (Mother of the Sea) is a story about the Greenlandic Inuit people's relationship with nature, the sea and the animals they hunt: When the catch failed due to people's greed and lack of gratitude, the village's Angakok (spiritual healer) had to make the dangerous journey down to Sassuma Arnaa to untangle her tangled hair, where seals, whales, grouse, polar bears and fish were trapped. Only in this way could the people survive.

How is it that some music just lasts, while others are forgotten after the first performance? Who was this man whose music we never tire of – and in which we can constantly find new depths? What can we use him for today? And what do we need music for anyway?

We can't reject unsophisticated tricks, crazy stories and great hilarity when the two musical duelists and music geeks Mathias Hammer and Frederik Cilius meet for a musical duel. Anyone who has seen them in  The Classical Music Quiz knows that, in addition to knowing almost everything about classical music, the two also love to compete. The question tonight is simply: Which piece of classical music is best? Come and help decide - whoever gets the biggest round of applause has won.
