Rímur
A raw, underground medieval night.
A reimagining of ancient Norse songs through a rich blend of medieval chant, folk traditions, and contemporary improvisation. Inspired by the historic connection between Norway and Iceland, this collaboration between the Norwegian vocal trio Trio Mediæval and jazz trumpeter Arve Henriksen brings Nordic musical heritage into the present. The program weaves together sacred hymns, 17th-century Icelandic music, and oral traditions, creating an atmospheric musical landscape. From the storytelling rhythms of Icelandic rímur to the wordless vocal art of Scandinavian “tralling,” the concert explores the power of the voice across time and place.
