Stundom
#germany
The music of Stundom is Nordic in its essence: Inspired by the traditional dance
music from their ancestors, the trio invites you into their wondrous immersive
world, and mixes folk traditions with classical chamber music and modern
symphonic elements. With a blend of the violin, the cittern and the piano, Emma
Kragh-Elmøe, Villads Hoffmann and Julian Svejgaard share a unique musical
chemistry and ability to create capturing melodies.
Stundom is one of the most acclaimed groups of New Nordic Folk Music in Denmark today, and the trio has been nominated for the Danish Music Awards Roots/Folk several times, e.g. "Artist of the Year" and "Album of the Year" at Danish Music Awards Roots in 2024 and 2022. In 2022 Emma, Julian and Villads were all separately nominated as "Composer of the Year" as well.
In 2015, Emma Elmøe and Villads Hoffmann started the duo Elmøe & Hoffmann in Copenhagen as a part of the young, growing Danish folk music scene, and soon thereafter, they won the "New Talent" prize at the Danish Music Awards Folk. In 2017, the duo were joined by Danish folk pianist Julian Svejgaard for the recording of their debut album Vandkanten, and the duo became a trio, changing their name to Stundom, which is an old Nordic word for from time to time, a reflection of the mission of the trio; to create new music in the present, inspired by the times that went before, for the times that will come. In 2024, Stundom released their third studio album 'Hvis ikke de er døde, lever de endnu' following their critically acclaimed album 'må jeg holde din hånd?' (2021)
They have guested BBC Scotland, BBC Alba, TG4, played live on BBC Radio 3 and Danish Radio P2 and have played at some of Europe's biggest festivals, both in and out of the folk music world, such as Roskilde Festival [DK], Celtic Connections [UK], Tønder Festival [DK], Het Lindeboom [FR] and Folkelarm [NO].
