Ida Meidell Blylod is a folk musician and baroque violinist with a strong passion for the violin’s rich versatility and spectrum of expression. Johan Hedin is a world-touring nyckelharp player who has become a role model for many through the way he handles his instrument. As a duo, they weave rich worlds of sound as they move through the shifting forms of song tradition. The music originates in the 18th century, but extends right into our time. It is shaped by Ida’s many playing styles and influences from near and far, and by Johan’s unique way of accompanying and pushing the limits of the key harp’s possibilities. Through their personal and colorful interpretations of the music, Hedin & Meidell show the full potential of the duo format, and enchant the audience with their tight interplay.
