Ingevalds Spelmän band and the Scandinavian Dancers will be at this event with Zosha Warpeha, a composer-performer working in contemporary improvisation and folk traditions. Using bowed stringed instruments and her own voice, her compositions explore transformations of time and tonality. She performs primarily on Hardanger d’amore, a sympathetic-stringed instrument closely related to the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, as well as five-string violin. Her current acoustic and electro-acoustic work is informed by the cycles, rhythms, and the momentum of Nordic folk music.
In 2019, Zosha received the US Fulbright Award for a year of artistic study in Norway. Her Fulbright project and subsequent master’s project involved a practice-based study of the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle tradition and the development of a personal approach to solo performance through Nordic folk music and improvisation.
