About
Skye Consort and Emma Björling perform transatlantic music from Scandinavia, Ireland, the British Isles and French Canada, as well as tunes of their own devising. They find enchanting stories and melodies, then bring them into the 21st century with worldly chamber-folk settings. They call their music “voices, fiddle, nyckelharpa, cello, bouzouki, banjo and percussion riffing on whirling polskas, groovy reels, passionate love songs, breathtaking hymns and original compositions.”
