Max Baillie and the internationally acclaimed Lodestar Trio draw together Nordic folk music with classical traditions from Bach to Bartók. The group features three star players with a unique combination of sounds: the magical Scandinavian folk instruments, the Swedish nyckelharpa and Norwegian hardanger fiddle, alongside the violin. The trio create a unique sonic world where Baroque elegance meets the rhythmic drive and improvisatory spirit of Scandinavian and Eastern European folk traditions.
