A Spellbinding Evening with Heilung and Eivør
by TMM on 19/11/2024Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre - AucklandRating: 5 out of 5Last night’s concert featuring Heilung with Eivør opening was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Eivør’s hauntingly beautiful voice drew me in immediately, blending modern and traditional Faroese elements into something ethereal and deeply moving. Her performance felt personal, as though she was singing directly to the soul, setting the perfect tone for the evening.
Heilung, on the other hand, was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Their ability to create a primal, immersive atmosphere was astounding—it felt more like being part of an ancient ritual than attending a concert. From their powerful chants to their intense rhythms and striking visuals, every moment was charged with energy. I was particularly moved by their thoughtful incorporation of Māori culture, which added a meaningful local connection and made the night even more special.
I highly recommend that anyone see them perform if you have the chance. This wasn’t just a concert; it was an experience that stayed with me long after the final note. Both Heilung and Eivør have redefined what live music can be.
