Events - Day View

We are entering into an area of extreme uncertainty due to the Corona virus pandemic. Public gatherings are being banned, and public events, including those in this calendar, are subject have been cancelled, and are being replaced by online or live-streamed events.

I will do my best to continue to report on any online or live-streamed events that I am aware of, but I can not be sure to have accurate information in this fast-moving situation.

Best wishes for your good health,

Live concert broadcast from Sweden.

The parts: a five-string viola of sophisticated symphonic taste, an adventurous 12-string guitar, and a nyckelharpa (a “keyed fiddle”) deeply rooted in the traditions of Swedish folk music. All three are instrumental virtuosos in their own right, and together they form a unique supernatural being. To experience Väsen is to witness ensemble playing at its finest.

The cost is 14 euros ($15.55 at the current rate). Tickets can be purchased here: https://www.folkweekendoxford.co.uk/component/eventbooking/zoom-events/vasen-live-from-sweden.html
