​​​​​​Fjord Music

The music of the fjords of Western Norway reflects its breathtaking surroundings with high mountains and deep waters. A beautiful, but also brutal nature. The people of these fjords have depended on nature for hundreds of years. As a result, traditional music from this part of Norway is filled with clues of this way of life. Listen, and you can hear calling for cattle on the hillside, a chuckling mountain creek, and the roaring thunders of harsh weather, threatening the lives of fishermen on the fjord, and their cottages on the mountain top.

In this 30 minutes visit to the historical Geiranger Church, you’ll be presented to the fjord music and learn to know its temperaments, its people and the surroundings it’s inspired by. The three local professional musicians performing the Fjord concert also present music by famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Grieg grew up in Western Norway and was very much influenced by folk music.
