Petra Bjørkhaug’s and Ragnhild Jepsen’s SÅRMERKT, combined with Domenico Scarlatti’s STABAT MATER.

MOTHER – a word that evokes associations, memories and feelings. Which mother are you thinking of? A loving mother with a newborn baby in her arms. Intimacy. A desperate mother in deep grief over a lost life. Emptiness. Through words and music, our lives are interwoven with the life of Mary, and perhaps we feel that the pain and grief of a mother, the strength and endurance of a mother, the warmth and love of a mother are the same today as they were two thousand years ago.
