Sara Parkman

1 upcoming festival

Swedish folk tradition dragged somewhere stranger — fiddle and choral arrangement used for queer, political songwriting that doesn't ask permission.

Sara Parkman is a Swedish fiddler, singer and composer working from the Nordic folk tradition. Her arrangements make heavy use of choral voices and string writing, setting traditional forms against electronic and contemporary-classical elements.

Her songwriting is explicitly political and queer, taking up questions of religion, nature and the Swedish countryside, and she has collaborated widely with other musicians in Sweden's folk and art-music scenes.
