A Midsummer Nordic Sojourn

Spend midsummer with us and friends as we journey through space and time, weaving Scandinavian life and lore into a tapestry of sounds. You will experience voices echoing in the mountains and fjords of Norway, ride through the enchanted desert of Iceland, wander through the magical summer forests of Sweden and dance in the villages of Finland and Denmark and all this within the quaint bounds of Rockport Center.

Join us. We will take you on a musical odyssey you will never forget!

Free and open to all ages.

Founded in 1978, Stämbandet (http://stambandet.org) has a reputation for excellence both as an a cappella ensemble and a World Music vocal group. Presenting songs rarely heard outside of Iceland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden, this captivating vocal band often breaks into six- and seven- part harmonies sung in six languages. Led by Allen LeVines, musical director since 1985, Stämbandet performs a wide range of a cappella folk traditions unique to Scandinavia, including "trall" - singers imitating fiddlers playing dance music - a practice that has been compared to scat singing.
