Folk music has always been an obvious inspiration for symphonic repertoire. The Nordan Suite explores these possibilities according to current trends. Singer-instrumentalist Lena Willemark and multi-instrumentalist Ale Möller, two unique Swedish musicians, have continuously formed ties to other musical worlds that allow new music to arise. This new CD marks a cooperative effort with arranger and composer Hans Ek, who, together with Ale Möller, composed the music. For the past 25 years, Hans Ek has made the symphony orchestra into a meeting place for classical, jazz, pop and folk music.
