Late Junction Late Junction Sessions, Synnove S Bjorset and Hari Sivanesan Late Junction Session - December 2011 - Synnove S Bjorset and Hari Sivanesan

New music from Norwegian hardanger fiddle player Synnove S. Bjorset and UK veena player Hari Sivanesan. This collaboration came about at this summer's WOMAD Festival, when the two met in the artists' tent of the 麻豆社 Radio 3 stage. They were intrigued by the similarities between the hardanger fiddle and the veena: though they are from totally separate cultures, both have drone strings, the tuning is similar, and there are stylistic parallels in the playing styles too. Synnove S. Bjorset is one of Norway's leading young fiddle players, and she is a regular with the band Majorstuen. Hari Sivanesan was born in London of Sri Lankan parents - he is 麻豆社 Radio 3's current World Routes Academy prot茅g茅, and he gave a solo performance at this year's 麻豆社 Proms.
