Rooted in tradition yet alive with innovation
What did the Norse hear as they journeyed across unknown lands? Although their music may be lost to time, this extraordinary concert reimagines their ancient songs through a rich blend of medieval chant, folk traditions, and contemporary improvisation.
Inspired by the historic connection between Rivedal in Norway and Reykjavík, symbolised by twin statues of the Viking Arnarson gazing across the sea, this collaboration between Norwegian vocal trio Trio Mediæval and celebrated jazz trumpeter Arve Henriksen brings Nordic musical heritage into the present.
Weaving together sacred hymns, 17th-century Icelandic music, and centuries-old oral traditions, the programme creates a vividly atmospheric musical landscape. From the storytelling rhythms of Icelandic rímur to the wordless vocal art of Scandinavian “tralling,” it offers a powerful exploration of the voice across time and place.
Rooted in tradition yet alive with innovation, Rímur continues a living musical legacy passed down through generations.
