Their joint composition Elja is rooted in the landscape of Hardangervidda, Europe\u2019s largest mountain plateau. Among the featured \u201cperformers\u201d: the rock ptarmigan, snowy owl, wolverine, Eurasian whimbrel, and Lapland longspur. The tireless Kronos Quartet performs on newly developed and adapted traditional instruments such as the Hardanger fiddle, Hardanger viola, and Hardanger cello. Benedicte Maurseth herself appears as soloist on the Hardanger fiddle.<br><br>Following its European premiere in Oslo, the work will be performed again at Festival Musica in Strasbourg.
