Groups Daniel & Emma Daniel & Emma play beautifully lyrical folk music on saxophone and fiddle. They have a remarkably close and spontaneous interaction which makes their performances perfect for intimate settings. Their repertoire is mostly polskas, waltzes and ceremonial music from the pens of Swedish composers. They also bring music from Scotland and France, and compose their own tunes for the duo. Daniel & Emma released their debut album Innerligheten in November 2010. Daniel Reid (formerly Carlsson) is one of few folk musicians in Sweden with soprano and baritone saxophone as his main instruments. With a broad backgroud in classical music, jazz and folk he is a sought after artist and tours worldwide with folk and world music bands. Daniel teaches at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and is regularly employed by theatres and dance companies. Emma Reid is one of Sweden’s busiest musicians. She grew up in England and started playing the fiddle at the age of three with her Swedish mother. Emma has graduated from Newcastle University and the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, and became National Fiddler in 2006. Emma has a deeply personal style and a real ability to speak through her fiddle. She tours and teaches throughout Scandinavia and Britain with Sofia Karlsson, Ellika Frisell, Roger Tallroth and the English folk string quartet Methera. myspace.com/danielemma |
