Britt Pernille Frøholm is a hardanger fiddle player from the west coast of Norway, and the traditional music from this area is her musical fundament. She has a MA degree in Traditional Arts from 2006 where she worked with contemporary music and researched new techniques for the hardanger fiddle, and has thus managed to create a distinctive signature in her way to perform on her instrument.
