Nordic Music Days - Word of Mouth II - KATA

Nordic Music Days - Word of Mouth II - KATA

Faroese vocal group KATA are an all-female quartet who are known for the clarity of their sound, and for championing traditional Faroese music in the modern world. Their programme will include some of their best known songs - Silvurlín, Vevpíkan, and Inni liggur tú líri - as well as a theatrical work by Swedish composer Arvid Kraft.

One of the new generation of Nordic composers, Arvid Kraft is already making a name for himself as a composer with an original approach and an exciting musical imagination.

Phineidae – for vocal ensemble is a piece that explores the very concept of communication. Gestural and linguistic expressions, communicative possibilities, questions of identity, and deconstructed vocal convention are explored and interpreted in the establishment of an irrevocable connection between voice, body, and movement in time and space.

This concert is part of the Nordic Music Days festival. The full programme can be found at nordicmusicdays.org
