The ensemble joins us through the MeritaCubed programme and last visited the festival during their previous stay in Lofoten. Now they return to share their music with us once again. You can hear them on Friday at Meieriet in Leknes before they perform in the beautiful and atmospheric Flakstad Church. Here, young international artists, timeless chamber music, and one of Lofoten's most iconic church settings come together in what promises to be an intimate and unforgettable concert experience. We look forward to welcoming them back!
