>      "To say that Fru Skagerrak is greater than the sum of it’s parts would diminish the
>        cultivated talents of each of these individuals.  I love how their unique strengths
>        are grafted together to create something that could not exist without the others."
>                                                                        – Laura Cortese, fiddler and singer
> 
>    Fru Skagerrak takes you on a journey through Scandinavia; from lowlands to mountains,
> from slow airs to roaring polkas, and everything in between. Fru Skagerrak – ”Lady Skagerrak” –
> are three master musicians, one from each Scandinavian country: Maja Kjær Jacobsen from
> Denmark, Elise Wessel Hildrum from Norway, and Anna Lindblad from Sweden. The trio brings
> together the diverse traditions from each of their homelands, which surround the Skagerrak strait.
> Through a repertoire of traditional tunes, new compositions, and songs in their respective
> languages, they express their kinship and love of their shared heritage. The result is an explosion
> of the sounds that exist in Scandinavian music today.
> 
> Maja Kjær Jacobsen (Denmark): fiddle, voice
>    The fiddle playing and singing of Maja Kjær Jacobsen is beautiful and intense. She has travelled
> and performed in many different countries, performing her ”darling”, the exotic sounding traditional
> music and gorgeous songs of Central Jutland in Denmark, and it has caught the attention of her
> audiences as well as many critics. Her own compositions radiate a special power, and she can
> bring out cinematic soundscapes from both her more delicate tunes as well as the raw and
> breathtaking reels. The inspiration for her tunes comes from an upbringing where many different
> musical genres rang regularly through the house.
> 
> Elise Wessel Hildrum (Norway): fiddle, recorder, voice
>    Elise is one of quite a few Norwegian folk flute players. She grew up playing mostly classical
> music, but discovered the world of folk music at the age of 20, and decided that this was what
> she wanted to play. As a recorder player it was natural for her to learn the Norwegian "sjøfløyte"
> (sea-flute) tradition from Numedal. This has been the core of her repertoire through several years
> of folk music studies. Elise also plays the fiddle, mostly for fun and in social settings. After finishing
> her folk music degree, Elise has been working as both flute and fiddle teacher, both privately and
> at the Academy of Music in Oslo.
> 
> Anna Lindblad (Sweden): fiddle, 5-stringed fiddle, voice
>    Anna Lindblad is a versatile fiddler from Sweden. Her powerful fiddle playing is steeped in
> groove, joy and presence. Anna is just as old-fashioned as she is innovative and with a nod
> to the tradition she brings her music forward, blending all her diverse musical interests into a
> very special voice that’s all her own. With a heart beating for Swedish tradition she is not
> afraid to mix it up with other musical expressions. Besides her Swedish fiddling she also plays
> Québecois, Irish and Old-time, always with a smile and a contagiously positive attitude and spirit.
>  
>      "The joy is evident in the companionship and in the music of these 3 powerhouse women
>        from 3 different Scandinavian countries and fiddle traditions. Their combined sound is one
>        of effortless beauty, grooving dance energy, and elegant arrangements. Not to be missed!"
>                                                                             – Natalie Haas, Cellist
