Music

The Sunnmøre region is rich in musical traditions. Virtually every village has a choir, an orchestra or a dance band, and the vibrant traditional music scene allows everybody to play and sing to their heart’s content. Weekdays and holidays are accompanied by music, to celebrate love and provide comfort in grief. Moreover, we use music to call our animals home, to fortify ourselves for manual labour, and to rock a child to sleep. Between our guide narrations, we therefore play music that in some way is connected to our route along the fjord. The composer, musicians and singers may hail from here, or the music may speak to our identity and ties to the land.
