$Nordlys Global Voices: Skye Consort & Emma Bj\u00f6rling$

A collaboration between folk fusion trio Skye Consort & Sweden’s Emma Björling results in an evening of polskas, reels, hymns & love songs.
About this Event

Canadian early music/folk fusion trio Skye Consort joins Swedish singer Emma Björling for an evening of whirling polskas, groovy reels, breathtaking hymns and passionate love songs from Scandinavia, Great Britain and the USA. Their extraordinary trans-Atlantic collaboration melds voices, fiddle, nyckelharpa, cello, bouzouki, banjo, and percussion.

Emma Björling (lead voice, shruti box, percussion) is an award-winning Swedish singer in the European folk-trad scene. Skye Consort is Alex Kehler (fiddle, nyckelharpa, vocals), Amanda Keesmaat (cello, vocals), and Seán Dagher (cittern/bouzouki, banjo & vocals). They find enchanting stories and melodies, then bring them into the 21st century with worldly chamber-folk settings.
