Northern Resonance is the Scandinavian string trio that takes newly composed folk music into enormous soundscapes. With their previously untested combination of instruments: viola d’amore, hardanger fiddle and nyckelharpa they allow Scandinavian music to meet explosive rhythms and grand chamber-like arrangements, taking folk music in a new direction.

All members are highly skilled and accomplished musicians, rooted in traditional music. With an intense musical connection that is rare to come across, they invite you into their world of compositions. Their songs are brimming with vitality, and the trio adeptly extracts every ounce of it.

With their debut album that was released in the autumn of 2020, Northern Resonance have already established themselves with a glorious sound and impressed a broad audience worldwide. The album was nominated for a Swedish Grammy and the band released their second album in 2024.

“With their close interplay, the trio moves effortlessly outside the soundscape of the tradition but moves just as easily within it. The instrument’s many resonance strings become the trio’s musical bloodstream that is effervescent with both detail and boundlessness. It pulsates with the feeling of home as well as a desire to discover new land.”
