Woodpeckers Recorder Quartet features Kate Hearne (Ireland), Caroline Eidsten Dahl (Norway), Katarina Widell (Sweden) and Pernille Petersen (Denmark)

When four friends create an ensemble where their biggest love is playing Baroque music on

recorders, one has to get creative. There is a serious lack of original Baroque repertoire for this

combination, and that’s how our concept ‘Borrowed, not Stolen...’ was brought into being. We

have ‘borrowed’ music of all kinds and turned it into our own. Despite our wanderings in life, the

four of us are still deeply rooted in our childhood traditions stemming from Sweden, Norway,

Denmark and Ireland, and some of our favourite folk tunes, many of which date from the Baroque

era or even earlier, appear in this programme.
