FolkJazzScena is Førdefestivalen its year-round concert stage. Here, the foundation arranges a certain number of concerts in the fall and spring, either alone or in collaboration with others. In October, FolkJazzScena offers acoustic folk music with the Swedish superduo, Mia Marine and Niklas Roswall and passionate flamenco with Ingrid Jasmin Vogt and Jesús Morente, a duo that is making a mark on the Norwegian concert scene. -In addition, the foundation collaborates Førdefestivalen with the Jazz at Jølst festival about a concert with our Sami first lady, Mari Boine. Boine is a great international artist, but has never played at Førdefestivalen , so it's extra nice to be able to present the Mari Boine Trio at Skei on Saturday, October 15th, says Lien.

Folk music and stories on tour
In October we have also arranged a tour with 'Folk music and stories', where musicians Arne M. Sølvberg and Øyvind Lyslo, together with author Arne Henning Årskaug, draw a musical and literary picture of the Norwegian folk composer and fiddler Anders Viken (1898-1977). This is the concert concept developed by Førdefestivalen in collaboration with Rom for ord, the local literature promoter in Sunnfjord municipality. The Anders Viken concert was a big success during this year's festival, and now Breim, Skei and Viksdalen are getting visitors.
In Folk Music and Stories, Arne M. Sølvberg, Øyvind Lyslo and Arne Henning Årskaug draw a musical and literary portrait of the Norwegian composer and fiddler Anders Viken (1898-1977).
