Both of the distinguished artists have been champions of their respective instruments for decades, immersing themselves in various forms of folk and chamber music. Renaissance and Baroque music appears alongside traditional Celtic and Swedish folk tunes, 19th and 20th century compositions, and original compositions from each of them. Individually, the artists have been awarded, acclaimed, and celebrated - now finally, they have become musical partners in an extraordinary journey. Ronn and Carolyn's musicianship is impeccable, the ease with which they play together is stunning, and their music making is a joy to behold.
