Thirteen Songs from Scandinavia

Andrea Hoag and Loretta Kelley present a program of Scandinavian folk tunes played on the violin and the rarely heard Hardanger fiddle. Andrea's specialty is Swedish folk fiddling, a tradition passed down through the generations with an intricate, distinctively harmonized style. Loretta is an expert on the Hardanger fiddle or hardingfele, a Norwegian fiddle that produces uniquely brilliant and mesmerizing music. Loretta also accompanies Andrea on the violin, and both sing in Swedish and Norwegian.
