Skye Consort & Emma Björling perform whirling polskas, groovy reels, passionate love songs and breathtaking hymns all found in or inspired by music from Scandinavia, The British Isles, French Canada and the New World. Their trans-Atlantic arrangements and original compositions spring from an extraordinary collaboration consisting of voices, fiddle, nyckelharpa, cello, bouzouki, banjo, and percussion. Each musician brings their individual passion to both traditional practices and inventive music-making. skyeconsort.org Here's a sample: https://youtu.be/DnSVfrWn0vc?si=r334LzHrdGq7_5uY
