FOLK IN THE GARDEN

Tradition newly remixed: Nordic Folk at its best

New Garden / Address: New Garden

Keeping tradition does not mean to keep ashes, but to make sure the fire does not stop burning. True to this principle we use 2013 for turning from Jazz to Folk in the Garden. Scandinavia’s folk music scene reinvigorates the local musical tradition.

description

Old melodies are lovingly and respectfully absorbed without any stylistic inhibitions and they are linked to multiple worlds of contemporary musical experience. Be there when a number of illustrious representatives of their art take over the park at Heiliger See and the spark once again truly lights the fire.

Performances happen simultaneously in various locations both indoors and outdoors between Orangery and Marble Palace and with a trip to the Sea Shell Grotto and the Bark Kitchen at Jungfernsee. You receive your complete program overview at the entrance so feel free to individually create your very own musical course while enjoying the atmospherically lit park in its vespertine beauty.

Look forward to the following musicians:

  • Led by one of Norway’s best folk fiddlers the GJERMUND LARSEN TRIO with Andreas Utnem at the piano & the harmonium and contrabass player Sondre Mejsfjord won the Norwegian Grammy. Their poetic creations make them one of the scene’s most exciting appearances.
  • Duo SKÁIDI with Joik singer Inga Juuso and jazz bassist Steinar Raknes. They add new dimensions to the traditional singing of Lapland’s Samis.
  • The LISAS, master violinist Lisa Rydberg and accordion virtuoso Lisa Eriksson Långbacka, focus on the Hälsingland and Dalarnas folklore while curiously crossing over into other genres.
  • The duo HAZELIUS HEDIN features two exceptional musicians from Sweden: they play extravagant instruments like cister, mandola and nyckelharpa, they sing and their repertoire encompasses everything from the most delicate love song to irresistible dance music.
  • KVONN from the Faroe Islands keep up the Scandinavian-Celtic connection and mix Faroese songs with music from nearby Shetland and Orkney Islands.
  • FRIKAR DANCE COMPANY: together with violinist RAGNHILD HEMSING the dancer HALLGRIM HANSEGÅRD reveal the beginnings of the Norwegian Halling dance.
  • DJane duo NORDIC BY NATURE and their cool mix make for a relaxing end of the evening.
