Founded in 2003, SVaNG have clearly set new standards when it comes to concerted music on the harmonica – both in terms of repertoire as well as technique. With a sophisticated yet entertaining program of own compositions these harmonica visionaries convince both audience and professional circles around the globe of the unlimited capabilities of this often undervalued tiny instrument. In spring 2014 the group is releasing their latest album KARJA-LA”. The master piece doesn’t only include tunes derived from traditional finnish folk music and balkan rhythms, but also features elements making reference to Sibelius, Merikanto and other national romantic composers. In general Svang stretch their repertoire undogmatically wide and invite their audience to an extraordinary journey of sounds: a free-spirited, sensual and vital mix of music, which has been honored with the attribute of the harmonica equivalent of the Kronos-Quartet. Contemporary harmonica music, which is certainly unprecedented in terms of compactness and virtuosity.
