Anna Ekborg is a member of Sweden’s exciting new generation of talented young fiddle players. Drawing inspiration from her country’s rich fiddle playing traditions, Anna has built up an extensive and varied repertoire. In 2021, she released her critically-acclaimed debut album, ‘SOLO’. Nominated for a Swedish Grammy, the album has cemented Anna’s position as one of the most sought after young fiddle players in today’s Scandinavian folk scene.
It’s been so hard to put words to my emotions after this amazing experience. I’m beyond grateful that I got to be a part of this incredible project and meet all of the amazing musicians and people that I got to share this experience with – a family of its own!
Inspired by diverse music from around the world, and the natural world itself, Making Tracks brings together extraordinary musicians to create new work. Three editions of this residency have taken place to date, in 2021, 2022, and 2024.
In 2024, during a two-week residency at Cove Park, eight musicians developed new work in collaboration – including several pieces inspired by this year’s theme of Oceans – before heading off on a UK concert tour. Making Tracks is based around the idea that intercultural and interspecies approaches to music-making have the power to bring people together and foster a greater appreciation of both cultural diversity and biodiversity.
