Elisabeth Turmo

Elisabeth Turmo is a young violinist who combines technical rock-solid perfection and enormous energy. Her own variant of the play between folk music, the Arctic primordial force and the classical, results in a rare volcanic-musical force.”

Martin Romberg, artistic director, Roseslottet
