International ensemble Skye Consort & Emma Björling will bring an adventurous blend of Scandinavian, Celtic and French-Canadian traditional music to Ca d’Zan House Concerts in Cambridge on Sunday, September 27.

Featuring acclaimed musicians from Canada and Sweden, Skye Consort & Emma Björling draw from the traditional music of Scandinavia, Ireland, the British Isles and French Canada while adding original compositions and contemporary chamber-folk arrangements.

The group’s distinctive instrumentation includes voices, fiddle, nyckelharpa, cello, bouzouki, banjo and percussion. Together, the musicians move between whirling Scandinavian polskas, lively reels, passionate love songs, breathtaking hymns and original works, creating music firmly connected to tradition while sounding entirely their own.

Björling is an award-winning Swedish singer, composer and arranger who performs with renowned Scandinavian ensembles including Kongero and Lyy. She has toured internationally, teaches at Framnäs College and leads workshops around the world.

Seán Dagher contributes lead vocals, Irish bouzouki and banjo. An accomplished performer, arranger and composer, Dagher is co-artistic director of La Nef and has contributed music to the Assassin’s Creed video game series, including vocals familiar to fans of Black Flag. He has also performed with The Longest Johns.

Cellist and vocalist Amanda Keesmaat is a prominent member of Montréal’s early-music community who has performed and recorded with numerous acclaimed musicians and ensembles and toured throughout North America, South America and Europe.

Fiddler and nyckelharpa player Simon Alexandre is an accomplished chamber and orchestral musician who moved to Sweden at age 17 to study the nyckelharpa. He also performs on Hardanger fiddle and is a member of the Orchestre Philharmonique du Québec.

Together, the four musicians create a performance that crosses borders, centuries and musical traditions, combining virtuosic playing with rich vocal harmonies and a spirit of exploration.
