“Beautiful, entrancing, uplifting music.”
ANEMARA is a cross-cultural, all-female international collaboration merging Scandinavian, Celtic and North American traditional and original music. With two fiddles, harp and cello, as well as step dancing and singing, the quartet weave a powerfully rhythmic and textured sound.
In 2018, the musicians met in Glasgow, Scotland where a dream of impacting the folk music genre was born. With captivating melodies and energetic rhythms, they invite listeners into a rich soundscape of vibrant compositions. Thoughtful, engaging and skillful. At the concert, you’ll have the opportunity of enjoying ANEMARA as their notes swirl across the Atlantic and meet in a lively dance.
