What is typically Nordic? Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing has grown up in a village of Aurdal, in the valley of Valdres, where centuries old folk music tradition had influenced and inspired composers such as Grieg, Ole Bull and Halvorsen. The so called ‘Nordic sound’ is strongly inspired by nature: everything from the northern lights, to the mountains, valleys, and waters. These lyrical, melancholic and often pictorial features also appear in other artistic disciplines. Embark on the journey to the North and join Eldbjørg Hemsing in “The Nordics Unveiled”, exploring the themes of Nordic mythology, folk music, Sami tradition, discovery of forgotten Nordic works in music, philosophy, architecture and nature.
