biography
Majorstuen are a young band scraping up a storm with their unique Norweigan roots sound. They have refined their vast musical dialects to a single, personal and playful common language. All perform on the fiddle, occasionally trading off on cello or viola. Majorstuen have released three successful albums, and were awarded the Norwegian Grammy in 2003 for their debut album. In 2005 they were appointed "Folk Musicians of the Year" by the Norwegian Concert Institute. Majorstuen have, since 2001 been touring in Norway, Germany, France, Spain, Slovenia, Azerbaijan, Israel and Canada, including performances at F?rde International Folk Music Festival, Bergen International Festival, Festival d'Ile de France, Celtic Colours and TFF.Rudolstadt.
"This young and creative collective succeeds in utilising the totality of artistic ingredients within the Norwegian musical heritage, thus producing breathtaking new perspectives." Music Information Centre, Norway.
They are a fantastic addition to any festival and can perform in any space, and can perform totally acoustic without any PA system or technical requirements. Workshops are also available from the band.
