REMINDER: Monday, August 10 Concert by Scandinavian Progressive Quartet in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York
The Scandinavian East Coast Museum Presents a Concert by Åkervinda, A Scandinavian Progressive Quartet, on Monday, August 10th, 2015 at 7:00 pm at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on the corners of Ovington and Fourth Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York.
Ticket cost is $15.00.
Featuring Agnes Åhlund, Iris Bergcrantz, Hanna Grahm and Lise Kroner, the group describes themselves as follows: Åkervinda takes pride in their original and modern interpretation of the traditional folk songs of Scandinavia.
The group’s name, Åkervinda, is inspired by a Swedish wildflower whose roots spread far and wide like rivers under the ground. Like the flower, gracefully entwining melodies, rock solid groove, and ever intriguing harmonies will take root in your mind. Like the flower, they will be impossible to remove.
Jazz singers at heart, the young women of Åkervinda share a deep love of folk music. Through improvisation, the group gives new life to traditional folk songs and stories of women throughout the ages.
For further information and reservations, please call 718-748-5950.
