Glima

Torunn R. Rue (Hardanger fiddle), Ragnhild Knudsen (viola) and Helene Waage (cello/singing)

Glima ("Glow") is an unorthodox string trio that performs Norwegian folk music. The musicians use hardingfele (Hardanger fiddle, the Norwegian folk fiddle with sympathetic strings), viola, cello and singing to perform material ranging from religious folk melodies and sensitive arrangements of other vocal material, to their own arrangements of exciting dance tunes. Much of their music comes from Telemark, their home area, but Glima also performs traditional material from Western Norway. Glima has performed for over fifty nursery schools and kindergartens in addition to their own solo concerts.
