Drawing on the history of Scandinavian, Celtic, and American folk music, Nordensong’s rich musical world breathes new life into these ancient traditions. Composer/guitarist Karl Lundeberg has written two albums worth of music featuring his own 12-string guitar, as well as GRAMMY-nominated Loretta Kelley on Norwegian Hardanger fiddle and Laura Hummel on Swedish nyckelharpa, resulting in Nordensong’s bold, exciting sound that is a completely new re-imagination of musical eras and genres. Andrea Hoag and Anders join as special guests.

Loretta Kelley and Andrea Hoag celebrate their new CD Hambo in the Garden.

Doors open at 7:00pm; $15.

7:30 – 10:00pm. one-hour concert followed by dancing. You are invited to
stay to dance or listen.

She studied with many of Norway’s greatest fiddlers, and is well known in Norway and the U.S. In 2011 she won the D (senior) class at Norway’s national fiddle contest, and she has played for top dancers in dance contests.

Specialty Workshop!

Scandinavian Fiddle Tunes

with Grammy nominees Andrea Hoag and Loretta Kelley

Saturday, November 30, 2:00-3:30pm. $30.

Register now.

Meet the rich and surprising tradition of Swedish and Norwegian music! Sometimes ethereal, sometimes infectiously danceable, this tradition goes back hundreds of years. We’ll look at older forms of music such as the 3/4-time polska and långdans, as well as 19th-century forms like schottische, polka, and waltz. The workshop is focused on fiddlers, though other melody instruments are welcome, and you’ll get a chance to hear the multi-stringed Hardanger fiddle. You’ll come away with some delectable tunes and new ideas for how to make dancers and listeners happy.
