Loretta Kelley and Andrea Hoag concert, Dec. 7, 2024

Loretta Kelley and Andrea Hoag represent some of the best of traditional music, and it's our pleasure to have them in St. Louis.  They have released several CDs, and together they were nominated for a Grammy.  They have each studied in Norway or Sweden, and they may be as well known there as they are in the U.S. 

If you want more information, both performers have extensive bios on their web sites https://andreahoag.com/ and https://www.fanitull.org/, and there are videos of their concerts at the Library of Congress.  There is also a Norwegian Wikipedia article on the Landskappleik (their prestigious national music and dance contest), which features a picture of Loretta.
