Description
One foot in Norwegian folklore and the other in classical violin playing: Ragnhild Hemsing has more than one musical home. She can’t decide between the violin and the silvery Hardanger fiddle – and she doesn’t have to. In this late night rich in contrasts, her Nordic tradition meets Omar Massa’s interpretation of Latin American tango.
