Sädesärla (Chris Adler, khaen & Batya MacAdam-Somer, violin/viola/voice)
Sädesärla is a world fusion duo project presenting original compositions and arrangements of folk music from Sweden, Thailand, and beyond with Christopher Adler on khaen, the bamboo free-reed mouth organ from Laos and Northeast Thailand, and Batya MacAdam-Somer on violin, viola, and voice.
The project was initiated in 2017 when Chris reached out to Batya about joining him on some Scandinavian folk tunes for a faculty recital at the University of San Diego. Since that point, they have built a program of folk music and original works by Chris.
