One of Norway’s most dynamic amateur choirs, Songlaget, will give two concerts in Edinburgh in June.
Songlaget was established in Norway in 1914 and has since become acclaimed and well-known in its genre. The choir’s major objective is to preserve and safeguard Norwegian choral and musical traditions. Under the leadership of conductor Brit Karin Wetteland, Songlaget has dedicated itself to learning and presenting authentic, traditional Norwegian folk music - with all its multiplicity. Each singer is encouraged to find and express his or her own individual sound, which enforces the individuality and uniqueness of this Norwegian traditional music.
The Norwegian fiddle player Vegar Vårdal will accompany Songlaget when they perform in the beautiful St Giles' Cathedral and Edinburgh Castle on 26th and 27th June.
