Kongero Folk’apella Concert at Rockport Opera House

Friday December 19 | Rockport Opera House, 6 Central Street, Rockport, ME 04856

Concert 7:00 pm (Doors 6:30pm)

Kongero is a highly esteemed, world touring Swedish Folk'appella group singing powerful, evocative, haunting music. A concert with Kongero will take the listener on a fabulous journey, an all-embracing Scandinavian folk music experience. Amazing vocal polyphony, groovy, and powerful.

We push the boundaries in trad/folk/world music as well as in a cappella and chamber music. We feel it’s important to share this passion with others. To share is to gain something new, and by sharing our tradition, knowledge, and passion we get lots of positive energy, love, and powerful musical experiences.

Kongero was formed in 2005 when the original members all attended a Nordic folk music conference. By chance they started singing together and found that their voices and harmonies blended perfectly. Since then they have performed at many of the major folk music scenes and festivals and at several a cappella and chamber music festivals as well as doing tours all over Europe, Asia and The Americas.

"The vocal harmonies are, as usual, heartbreakingly virtuoso, crystal clear and intense, full of tension that dissolves into lovely harmonies" - Alexandra Ullsten, Lira 2021. Om Live in Longueuil

Join Kongero for this special concert in this historic venue at 7:00 pm on Friday December 19 | Rockport Opera House, 6 Central Street, Rockport, ME 04856.
