From the Dean’s Desk »

The Hardanger fiddle — played expertly and beautifully by Maurseth — has twice the amount of strings as a traditional fiddle and is right out of Norweigan folk traditions. Maurseth also sings staggeringly well and puts her entire body into a performance. She’s an award winning and internationally acclaimed musician, and we’ll all see why when we’re under her spell.
