Folklore Village is delighted to announce a special evening of trans-Atlantic folk music featuring Skye Consort & Emma Björling on January 30 at 7:00 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.). Skye Consort & Emma Björling bring together centuries-old melodies from Scandinavia, Ireland, the British Isles, and French Canada, weaving them into modern arrangements that showcase the timeless beauty of these traditions. Audiences will be treated to whirling polskas, groovy reels, and stirring hymns, reimagined with a fresh, dynamic style that defies genres and captivates listeners of all musical tastes.The group’s story began unexpectedly in Montréal in 2017, when a storm in Iceland delayed flights and granted the musicians extra time to share tunes, exchange ideas, and discover their profound synergy. The result is an ensemble of remarkable talent, featuring fiddle, nyckelharpa, cello, bouzouki, banjo, percussion, and spellbinding vocals, all expertly blended to deliver an evening of worldly chamber-folk artistry. Tickets are available for $20 in advance and $25 at the door; no physical or digital tickets will be issued, and advance purchases will be recorded so that guests can be checked in upon arrival.
