Nordic moods and baroque echoes - The Marais Project and Duo Langborn/Wendel

05 Feb 2023 - 23 Feb 2023

February 2023 NSW Tour - presented in association with Musica Viva Australia and the Swedish Arts Grants Committee

Duo Langborn and Wendel

Building on their decade-long commitment to performing and recording Scandinavian baroque and folk music, The Marais Project is proud to announce a new collaboration with leading Swedish artists,
Duo Langborn/Wendel with a Sydney and regional NSW tour in February 2023. The Duo’s visit to Australia is sponsored by the Swedish Arts Board for International Exchange and the ensemble will perform through 5-26 February 2023 in Sydney, Berrima, Dungog, Wauchope and Tea Gardens.

Duo Langborn/Wendel consists of the unusual combination of baroque violin, played by Catalina Langborn, and percussionist Olof Wendel, who specialises in the rarely heard cimbalom - an instrument he will be playing when he visits this country.

Australian viola da gambist, Jenny Eriksson – whose grandfather was Swedish - and Swedish-born lutenist/guitarist Tommie Andersson, have been bringing Scandinavian music to Australian audiences for more than a decade. They are joined by singer/violinist, Susie Bishop, who speaks (and sings!) Swedish. The Marais Project’s 2015 popular album of Swedish classical, baroque, and folk music, Smörgåsbord, spent three months in the Australian Top 20 Classical Music Charts.

The upcoming project titled Nordic moods and baroque echoes combines Swedish folk music, works from the baroque and several original compositions/arrangements by group members.

The Marais Project & Duo Langborn/Wendel will appear at:

  • 5th February 3pm - Berrima Village Hall, Berrima
  • 10th February 7pm - Royal Hotel, Dungog
  • 11th February 7.30pm - Wauchope Arts Hall, Wauchope
  • 12 February 4pm - Tillerman’s Restaurant, Tea Gardens
  • 26th February 3pm - Sydney Conservatorium and broadcast on Australian Digital Concert Hall
