Celebrating the visionary, boundary-pushing artistry of the Nordic countries, audiences are invited to transport themselves to the north for a night at Lincoln Center’s Nordic Next.

Founded one decade ago in Håga, Sweden, FRÄNDER unites Swedish and Estonian traditions with a bold modern edge, creating a contemporary “heavy folk” sound that is both acoustic and richly powerful. Now a standout voice on the Nordic folk scene, they deliver an evocative soundscape inspired by ancient northern woodlands. Their latest album, Fränder II, pushes the boundaries of folk with echoes of rock energy woven into deep-rooted Nordic rhythms.

The band members include founding siblings Gabbi Dluzewski (Swedish mandola and vocals) and Daniel Dluzewski (double bass and vocals), performing alongside Gabbi’s wife Säde Tatar (flute and vocals), percussionist Andreas Berglund, and fiddler Gabriella Josefsson. Together, they create a sound that is at once ancient, modern, and unmistakably their own.

Nordic Next is presented in collaboration with the Consulates General of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden in New York, and with the Embassy of Iceland in Washington, D.C., with additional support from the American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF).
