Palaver Strings Quartet
ft. Fredy Clue & Jamie Oshima
Sunday, February 4 @ 3:00 pm

Palaver Strings welcomes Fredy Clue, a Nyckelharpa virtuoso, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from Sweden. Hailed as “a creator of remarkable experiences and a true innovator in the folk art space,” Clue has taken the traditional music scene by storm. Their music takes inspiration from the forests, oceans, birds, and animals alike. Joined by Maine’s own Jamie Oshima, we will premiere Fredy’s new arrangements for Nyckelharpa and strings. We pair Clue’s music with Philip Glass’ Fourth String Quartet. Written in memory of avant-garde artist Brian Buczak, this three-movement work combines undulating arpeggios, soaring melodies, and rich harmonies to create a deep-rooted, whole-body experience.

Musicians Maya French + Jesse Macdonald, violins / Elizabeth Moore, viola / Titalayo Agande, cello / Fredy Clue, nyckelharpa / Jamie Oshima, guitar
