Annbjorg Lien is a Hardanger Fiddle , as well as standard fiddle player who happens to also be Norwegian. In my effort to find all things Norwegian that I can positively embrace as my own. I search for Norwegian music. Annbjorg Lien is one of those musicians that is anchored in traditional Norwegian music, she is also very skilled and creatively diverse!
On this page, I am highlighting music she has created that is both traditional & contemporary.
I created a Forums website, which is separate from this website to have a place to collect content, ideas and thoughts. A place to organize these things separate from all other social media sites. A place of my own where I can claim my successes and qualities, as well as bear witness to the terrible, terrible things I've experienced and learned.
