A CELEBRATION OF MUSIC AND MEDICINE
A Concert Bouquet of Musical Flowers for the Hospital presented by Prof. Lars Ole Bonde, Aalborg University
Supported by the Humanistic Faculty of Aalborg University
Read AAU Report
In the form of a ”Hospital Concert” you will hear conference participants and other ”musical agents” from the music medicine/music therapy field sing and play.
Our pianist, Margrethe Langer Bro (DK, Southern Danish Academy of Music) is currently running a PhD project with live music for hematology patients at Odense University Hospital. She will accompany M.D., music therapist Cordula Dietrich (D) in two songs by Gabriel Fauré, and PhD, music therapist Emma O’Brien (AUS) in an aria from an Opera Therapy project, and she will also support music therapist and concert cellist Marie Falk in ”The Swan” by Saint-Saëns. The soloists will also improvise, thus presenting how music in/as therapy may sound in the here-and-now.
Finally, the Danish conductor Frans Rasmussen – a pioneer of the strong choir-for-health movement in the Nordic countries – he may even invite you, the audience, to sing!
The concert will be presented by music therapy Professor Lars Ole Bonde, PhD Expert on Music Therapy at Aalborg University Doctoral Program in Music Therapy

MusicMedicine (or Music in Medicine) is the applied use of music itself to alleviate pain, decrease anxiety, foster hope and increase quality of life in hospitalized patients. The music can be specially composed, it can be selected from the enormous repertoire of classical music, or it can be the patient’s preferred music in any style or genre.
Music Therapy is an evidence-based treatment form that systematically uses singing, making music, and active music listening to help people recover, by assisting them in establishing, or re-establishing, physical functioning or psychological meaning, finding hope and enhancing quality of life, or developing resources and opportunities for interaction and communication with others.
Available throughout the Nordic Summit
