Review

Telemarkfestivalen 2007 presented the world artist and folk musician Annbjørg Lien as this year's festival composer. Here Lien performed together with an international folk music string quartet comprising Annbjørg Lien (hardingfele and fiddle), Bruce Molsky (fiddle & vocals), Christine Hanson (cello) and Mikael Marin (viola), a completely originally written commission, Waltz With Me, based on a folk musical expression, rooted in Northern Europe and North America. The free events reflects crossover and playfulness.
