BIOS
Towards the end of the tumultuous year 2020, the three musicians Anna Maria Friman (voice), Nora Roll (viola da gamba) and Dohyo Sol (lute) met in Gothenburg and formed the ensemble Renaissance AND. The musicians, all well-established in their respective fields, had previously performed together in different constellations. They all share a fascination for early and contemporary music, and with Renaissance AND they hope to entertain their listeners by reviving the 16th century from the perspective of our modern time. With colorful concerts containing renaissance songs, many of them set to the early Italian renaissance poet Francesco Petrarca as well as contemporary pieces written for the group, Anna, Nora and Dohyo want to celebrate the contrasts and differences that we encounter in life, love and death.

For the last twenty years Anna Maria Friman has been working as a freelance musician both in chamber music ensembles and as a soloist with orchestras such as the Latvian Radio Choir, Gavin Bryars Ensemble, Hille Perl & Sirius Viols, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.

Nora Roll is a half-Norwegian half Swedish gambist and lironist from Stockholm. In 1998 she became the first gambist to hold a Swedish music college degree, and since then she has devoted herself to her great passion; to accompany early vocal music.

Dohyo Sol studied the lute at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague and at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. Dohyo ́s repertoire ranges from the early Renaissance to contemporary improvisation.

Hans Davidsson is Artistic Director of the Göteborg International Organ Academy and Music Director at the church of Älvsborg in Göteborg.
