The duo’s new album, While the Night Falls, explores an expanded concept of chamber music. The album begins with intense rhythm and energy, reflecting the stress and pace of modern life, but gradually allows calm and the quiet of night to settle, note by note, piece by piece.
Minna Weurlander, born and raised in Finland, found her way to Sweden through music. Today, she is regarded as one of Europe’s leading accordionists and regularly collaborates with symphony orchestras, string quartets, and theaters worldwide.
"…with such an honest expression and magnificent artistry that even the most convinced accordion skeptic would begin to waver. Seldom have dazzling light and comforting darkness been united as in Weurlander's embrace.” – Expressen
David Härenstam, who after an Advanced Diploma under Professor John Mills has recorded and contributed to several internationally successful albums, is also the artistic director of two chamber music festivals. He has toured as a soloist and chamber musician in Australia, China, and Europe.
