Folk on baroque violin and nyckelharpa (Sweden)

Hedin & Meidell are known for their unmistakable sound and their unrivalled interpretations on nyckelharpa and baroque violin. In duo format, they create complex arrangements that breathe new life into traditional 18th century melodies. Ida's expertise in various violin styles and baroque music, combined with Johan's innovative playing of the nyckelharpa, characterises their complex soundscapes, in which they sensitively revive rich Nordic traditions and seamlessly combine them with contemporary forms of expression. Past and present rejoice in the most beautiful tones!
