Northern Skies, Southern Cross

Driven by founder Jenny Eriksson’s viola da gamba mastery and Scandinavian heritage – her grandfather was Swedish – and backed by an outstanding line up of jazz and world music luminaries, Elysian Fields has marked out its own lyrical sound world. Leading jazz critic John Shand terms it ‘Scandi Folk Fusion.’ Not only is Elysian Fields Australia's only electric viola da gamba band, but they are also one of the few groups to explore the creative intersections between the Nordic countries and Australia, the Great South Land.

For their appearance at Camelot, the band has put together a program called Northern Skies, Southern Cross, which spans Scandinavian jazz and folk music, along with their own Nordic inspired originals.
