Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation, Leah Stuttard and Agnethe Christensen bring Scandinavian folk music to our stage with the bray harp, bells and Nordic lyres (metal strung instruments from Lithuania and Russia).
Both artists sing folk hymns from across Scandinavia but also as far afield as Ukraine and Estonia, with some haunting and unexpected chromatics. They will play music from the 15th and 16th centuries, full of gorgeous harmonies, for a beautiful evening full of meditative moments.
