The Arctic Memoirs Concert Tour presents a culturally rich and entertaining experience of varied Norwegian music with roots in Scandinavia’s traditional folk music. Full of youthful energy, Skogen Sällström (violin) and Knut Erik Jensen (piano/accordion) perform their interpretation of a selection of folk tunes known as Slåtter alongside popular works by Ole Bull, Edvard Grieg, and contemporary Sturla Eide. A special feature of this concert is the Hardanger fiddle, Norway's unique traditional instrument that has eight or nine strings. As different rhythms and motifs are bowed on the four primary strings, additional under-strings resonate to create rich tones typical of its style.
