OurConcerts.live: Ellika Frisell & Bruce Molsky
$15
Ellika Frisell, violin & viola
Bruce Molsky, fiddle
Friends and peers for over 25 years, Molsky and acclaimed Swedish folk violinist and violist Ellika Frisell will perform and share stories about their parallel folk experiences that occurred on different continents. Frisell became a central figure in the Swedish folk music revival, performing with important groups such as Filarfolket, Den Fule, and Rosenberg 7, and with Senegalese kora legend Solo Cissokho. Molsky became one of the most influential old-time fiddlers on the scene today, earning two Grammy nominations and even the title “the Rembrandt of Appalachian fiddlers” from Darol Anger. Though both Frisell and Molsky were considered outsiders when they first fell in love with folk music, they each went on to learn at the feet of masters Frisell learning from Gustaf Päkkos and Molsky from Tommy Jarrell. Today, both Molsky and Frisell draw modern ways into how they carry forward their tradition, including collaborating with twenty-first-century global musicians and incorporating contemporary instrumentation in their musical storytelling.
The livestream will take place at 1pm Eastern / 10am Pacific.
