On the program:

A Nordic evening

Traditional ballads, kveding, folkviser, kulning, ancestral songs of shepherdesses...

In Northern lands, long nights were once shaped by evening gatherings where stories, songs, and music mingled. François Lazarevitch and Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien recreate the atmosphere of these shared moments, inviting us on one of those captivating journeys that only they know how to craft. Listeners are immersed in this deeply poetic universe to the sound of the hardingfele, the Norwegian violin with sympathetic strings played by Britt Pernille Frøholm, blending with the colors of period instruments. Moving between traditional heritage and contemporary expression with wonderful vocal freedom, Ingeborg Dalheim breathes new life into traditions of great poetic richness: kveding and folkviser (folk ballads), as well as kulning, the herding call used by shepherdesses to gather livestock in the mountains. Through the music, stories unfold that recall the close bond between humankind and nature.
