The Nordsnø Ensemble is dedicated to combining Scandinavian folklore with elements of contemporary jazz. Spherical soundscapes, penetrating rhythms and lyrical singing transport the listener into the mystical moods of Scandinavian folk songs.

In addition to interpreting traditional pieces, the ensemble creates its own compositions inspired by folklore.

The Nordsnø Ensemble's third album, "ett omaka par", was recorded in May 2022 at the Philippus Church Hamburg. The internationally renowned British pianist and organist Kit Downes was hired as a collaborator on the church organ for this recording. The album will be released on November 29, 2024 via sts|sts records. The Nordsnø Ensemble is a “Jazz High in Course” award winner.
