ABOUT ZENOBIA
The trio Zenobia has been a staple of the Danish music scene for many years, captivating audiences with enchanting and atmospheric interpretations of the Danish song treasury. Despite a traditional musical foundation with Danish ballads and hymns, the women make the music their own by contributing to the tradition with their own songs and compositions, as well as new interpretations of well-known songs.
Fifth Album on the Way
In late summer 2024, Zenobia will release their fifth album: Årsværk. The album is a musical journey through the year.
The group’s first four albums are: the Danish Music Award-nominated CD ‘Midnat’ (2008), ‘I vintermørkets hal’ (2010), ‘Fra Fynske Kyster – Zenobia spiller Carl Nielsen’ (2013), and the anniversary album ‘Blot en ild’ (2017). The latter is a presentation of Zenobia’s own melodies to both well-known and new texts, as well as Mette Kathrine’s instrumental folk music compositions. In 2013, Zenobia was nominated for the ‘Tradition Award of the Year’ at the Danish Music Awards Folk.
ZENOBIA CONCERT
A Zenobia concert includes Zenobia’s own songs as well as well-known seasonal songs and other hits from the Danish song treasury. During the concerts, folk music is always represented by 2-3 numbers – either new compositions by Mette Kathrine or traditional melodies. Sing-alongs are also part of the program, provided there are songbooks, hymnbooks, or song sheets available.
Everything is woven together by Zenobia’s stories and anecdotes. See a taste of a live concert over at YouTube.
