Northern Resonance, Scandinavian Roots Music String Trio

Northern Resonance is a Scandinavian string trio rooted in traditional folk music. They perform traditional and newly composed roots music on a previously untested combination of instruments: viola d’amore, hardanger fiddle and nyckelharpa. They combine Scandinavian music with explosive rhythms and grand chamber-like arrangements, taking folk music in a new direction. The members of Northern Resonance are highly skilled and accomplished musicians, and they share an intense musical connection that is rare to come across. There is great life in their tunes, and the trio knows how to bring it out. The debut Northern Resonance album, released in 2020, introduced their glorious sound and impressed a broad audience worldwide. The album was nominated for a Swedish Grammy. The trio released their second album in January 2024. For transcript and more information, visit
