Crossdorf übers Jahr: Elise Boeur & Adam Iredale-Gray

Canadian Folk Music Award-winning instrumentalists Elise Boeur and Adam Iredale-Gray explore the world of fiddle music through fluid, harmonious interplay. Fiddler and Hardanger fiddlerElise Boeurdraws from the traditions of Norwegian and Swedish fiddle music, blending them with a handful of mysterious influences to create a multifaceted sound rooted in Nordic traditions. Adam Iredale-Grayis a versatile guitarist and fiddler with deep roots in traditional Irish music and a commitment to innovation.

Both have spent years touring as members of various projects, including their acclaimedneo-folk quintet “Aerialists,” which also put on a fantastic performance here in Osdorf at the 1st Crossdorf Festival in 2020.

With this duo project, they are finally returning to Osdorf. Their show is a masterful exploration of traditional music, gathered over years of travel and immersion in musical traditions.

The common thread linking these pieces is Boeur and Iredale-Gray’s open-hearted, infectious love for the melodies. An evening with Elise and Adam is a celebration ofviolin traditions, passed down for centuries, with the melody reinventing itself with every repetition.
