Long winter nights in the North provide an apt metaphor for dark times of the soul, often characterized by loneliness, longing, and even despair. Composers of the Nordic countries, familiar with these seasonal challenges, frequently contrast such themes with those of hope, belonging, light, and future spring. Soprano Regan Hjelle and pianist Emily Valine present a musical journey of finding hope and strength to sing even in the darkest of times.
