Lodestar Trio – 2021
Fele / Nyckelharpe / Bratsj
Lodestar Trio is a ground-breaking new collaboration between stars of the Scandinavian folk scene Erik Rydvall and Olav Luksengård Mjelva, and British violin virtuoso Max Baillie. Together they bring a spirit of groove and improvisation into Baroque music by bringing it into a folk sound world where the Swedish nyckelharpa and the Norwegian hardanger fiddle meet the violin.
Lodestar Trio made its debut concert in London in April 2018 and has appeared live on the BBC, on Norwegian radio, been featured by Classic Fm, and most recently featured at the 15th anniversary Folkbaltica Festival. They are making plans for a debut recording.
