Acappella – Scandinavian Folk Song

Atmospheric tones. Like a babbling brook in the spring, as clear as crystal. The Hebbe Sisters have been singing choir music and traditional songs since early childhood. They cherish the treasure of songs from both Sweden and other cultures but add their own innovative touch and pioneering vocal arrangements.Here, the voices take the lead. In simplicity, something timeless grows, where clear Nordic harmonies blend together with a natural ease that only sisters can create. Their shared sound has been shaped through many years of dedicated studies in choral and classical singing.

In 2018, The Hebbe Sisters also performed traditional songs in collaboration with the internationally renowned Swedish a cappella quintet The Real Group. Meeting fellow musicians from different parts of the world have inspired the sisters to add music from various cultures to their repertoire. For instance, a men’s choir in the Swiss mountain village of Vella taught them the beautiful song Consolaziun in Romansh (a language spoken by 0.5% of the Swiss population). The Hebbe Sisters’ beloved arrangement of Värmlandsvisan has become a regular feature of their international performances and is highly appreciated by non-Swedish-speaking audiences as well – fans include Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, who was clearly touched as The Hebbe Sisters sang this beautiful song about their home province at a Windsor Castle dinner.

Experience music entirely a cappella – pure and intimate, where every nuance has space and the silence between the notes becomes part of the expression. No filters, no excess – just voices carrying emotion, warmth and stillness. Perhaps you dream of hearing your favorite song performed live in a unique and personal vocal arrangement?

If desired, the sound can be enriched with beautiful piano and cello, blending seamlessly with the voices. Together with their parents, Ulrika Hebbe (piano) and Lars-Inge Bjärlestam (cello) of Duo Sentire, the family can create a program tailored to your wishes.
