THE NORDIC PROJECT
Join Stämbandet and sing with us in our spring concert!
The Nordic Project is an invitation to singers to enjoy the excitement of singing ensemble music from the Nordic world with Stämbandet - The Nordic Vocal Ensemble. Participants with part-singing experience will join Stämbandet in their Spring 2016 concert to perform an enchanting selection of music from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland
Stämbandet is a small, accomplished vocal group that presents music from across the Nordic region. From medieval to contemporary, the melodies are captivating, the harmonies are rich and layered. Singing these vibrant reflections of Nordic lore feels magical.
