beautiful music, and an evocative setting draw the audience into a realm
beyond time and place. With Beth Kollé, harp/vocals; Richard Hill,
vocals; Bill Boyd, Hardingfele (Norwegian Hardanger fiddle); Bart
Brashers, nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle); Joanne Andrus,
hurdy-gurdy; Nancy Quensé, narration and artistic direction.
