Lullabies and Nightmares: Nordic Songs and Stories

Nordic Lullabies and Nightmares invites you to step into a world where traditional music carries both light and shadows. Experience traditional songs from Sweden, Iceland, and other Nordic countries, both sung and played on the nyckelharpa, a centuries-old Nordic instrument. These melodies move between light and shadow, and some have been passed down as folktales that try to inspire sleep, comfort, and a wee bit of Nordic angst and existential dread.

Registration encouraged but not required.
