Welcome
In 1995 seven young Faroese musicians formed an ensemble with the main purpose to perform and promote Faroese music.
This ensemble is Aldubáran.
Today Aldubáran has 14 members playing the flute, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola, guitar and piano.
This rather untraditional combination of instruments makes for great diversity in concerts and gives scope for composers.
Aldubáran has commissioned and premiered a vast number of works by Faroese and foreign composers which have been well received by the press and public.
In collaboration with famous Faroese folk-singer Hanus G. Johansen
