Northern Resonance (SWE)
Swedish Grammy Nominated trio Northern Resonance is the Scandinavian string trio that pushes the boundaries of Nordic folk music, and brings it into a new soundscape. With their previously untested combination of instruments; viola d’amore, hardanger fiddle and nyckelharpa they let Scandinavian music meet explosive rhythms and grand chamber-like arrangements that takes folk music in a new direction. All members are highly skilled and accomplished musicians, rooted in traditional music. With an intense musical connection that is rare to come across, they invite you into their world of compositions where the trio moves effortlessly outside the soundscape of the tradition but moves just as easily within it.
There is great life in their tunes, and the trio knows how to bring it out. With the Swedish Grammy nominated debut album from 2020, Northern Resonance have already established themselves with a glorious sound and have impressed a broad audience worldwide with concerts that are characterized by their explosive energy. ”Northern Resonance have crafted something genuinely exciting in Vision of Three, resonant with the joy of creating and playing music together with the confidence to push the boundaries of what Nordic folk music can be.” – Kevin Bourke, Songlines (★★★★)
