The Fretless and Väsen

The Fretless and Väsen

Canada’s genre-bending quartet The Fretless meets Sweden’s Scandinavian string masters Väsen for a night of music that transcends borders. Juno Award winners The Fretless transform fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, high-energy arrangements that are rich, multi-layered, and percussive—captivating audiences from intimate venues to world-renowned concert halls. For more than 37 years, Väsen’s Mikael Marin and Olov Johansson have honed a singular sound, rooted in the traditional music of Uppland yet ever curious about new musical horizons. With playful precision and near-telepathic interplay, they weave intense, humorous, and deeply engaging performances on nyckelharpa, electric viola and more.

Together, these acclaimed ensembles promise an unforgettable night of virtuosic playing, rich textures and a seamless blend of tradition and innovation.
