Nordlys Global Voices: Skye Consort & Emma Björling

Canadian early music/folk fusion trio Skye Consort joins Swedish singer Emma Björling​ for an evening of whirling polskas, groovy reels, breathtaking hymns and passionate love songs from Scandinavia, Great Britain and the USA. Their extraordinary trans-Atlantic collaboration melds voices, fiddle, nyckelharpa, cello, bouzouki, banjo, and percussion. 

Emma Björling​ (lead voice, shruti box, percussion) is an award-winning Swedish singer in the European folk-trad scene. Skye Consort is Alex Kehler​ (fiddle, nyckelharpa, vocals), Amanda Keesmaat​ (cello, vocals), and Seán Dagher​ (cittern/bouzouki, banjo & vocals). They find enchanting stories and melodies, then bring them into the 21st century with worldly chamber-folk settings.
