Kari in June 2026
June 19 - 20 Scandinavian Festival - Moorehead, Minnesota
Kari performs twice each day on her Nordic Nature Instruments! She will also be available in-between to discuss the instruments along with the runes and mythology that give context to the bones, horns, and songs you will hear! (Made possible through a grant from the Lakes Regional Arts Council and the tax payers of Minnesota. Thank You!)
Kari in July 2026
Follow The Kvann Project!
July 2 - 5, Kari will travel above the Arctic Circle to deepen her relationship with the special plant called kvann (Angelica archangelica). Sami/Norwegian nature Instrumentalist and teacher, Øistein Hanssen, has agreed to teach Kari about the fadnu, a flute made from the stem of the plant. This flute was nearly lost to memory. So ephemeral that it only plays for two hours. Join the adventure!
