Nord

Scandinavia, Greenland, Russia… Vast, mysterious lands, brimming with musical inspiration, melodies that warm the fingers and the heart. Like the four cardinal points, classical, traditional, world music, and pop meet through the pen of Anne Niepold. Her original compositions, inspired by the breathtaking nature encountered during her travels in the Far North, intertwine seamlessly with the works of Sibelius and Borodin, as well as ABBA and Björk. NORD is an invitation to travel and embrace hygge. But what is hygge, exactly? The cold, dark winters of the North have taught its people the art of simplicity. Surrounded by harshness, happiness reveals itself in the little things, in trust, in solidarity. Hygge, the Danish word with no English equivalent, evokes the comfort of pausing, the joy of a cozy home, and the quiet pleasure of simply being. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that some Scandinavian countries rank among the happiest countries in the world. So, come and taste hygge, step aboard this musical voyage. We’re heading NORTH!
