Danish folk singer Mia Guldhammer joins the ensemble Auroq for an atmospheric concert of traditional ballads. Guldhammer has spent years championing Danish ballad singing, including with the groups Virelai and Guld Ganger, as well as in her solo work.
Auroq brings an unconventional soundscape to the old tunes. Flutes, hurdy-gurdy, Irish bouzouki, drums, percussion and Celtic harp give the folk ballads a fresh sound, and the hurdy-gurdy and drums add a rhythm that invites dancing. The repertoire spans Danish melodies from the 1700s, drawn from historical tune books, along with older ballads in new arrangements. Expect well-loved classics alongside rarely heard gems.
Guldhammer also has another concert coming up at FOLK in December, with the show Døgnrytme.
