Arna Rennan & Loretta Kelley
Arna Rennan
and Loretta Kelley join forces to perform dance tunes with their
accompanying songs called "slaatte stev". They have recently
collaborated on a CD called "Treasures Left Behind" featuring mainly
music from the Telemark region. Loretta is one of the foremost
Hardanger fiddle players in the U.S., having lived in Norway to immerse
herself and makes frequent visits to learn more. Arna studied at the
Institute of Folk Culture in Telemark to learn "kveding", traditional
folk singing. Their passion for this music is what brings them together
and is evident when they perform.
