Opened in February 1997, the Concert Hall (sometimes known as the ‘Big Hall’) is located in the Katuaq Culture House which was designed by Danish architects Schmidt, Hammer & Lassen.
The building has a unique shape which was inspired by the ‘Northern Lights’.
It was designed as a multi purpose hall for films, drama, concerts and live performances and serves the capital city of Nuuk well in these forms of entertainment.

The Concert Hall was opened well in time to screen one of my favorite films, “Qaamarngup uummataa” (Heart of Light). The film was released on 1/25/98.
Filmgoing in Nuuk (Godthaab in Danish) began in 1950 when part of the American airbase was turned in a gym/cinema. Films at the Bio were screened 3 times a week until 1958 when a multi-purpose community centre opened. Twice weekly shows and weekend children’s matinees continued until 1990 when interest declined.
