Erik Ask Upmark: Scandinavian music on the celtic harp.

Erik Ask-Upmark is one of very few harpists playing Scandinavian music on the Celtic harp. October 2007 saw the release of his first, critically acclaimed solo album - incidentally the first album ever featuring exclusively Swedish folk music on solo harp! Erik has earned the official title of "Riksspelman" (Master musician of the Realm) and is also a master player of another little-known instrument, the unique Swedish bagpipes. He also plays the Baroque double harp (Arpa doppia) with ensembles such as Concerto Copenhagen and Ensemble Mare Balticum. He performs early music and Nordic roots music both as a soloist and with his groups Svanevit, Dråm and Falsobordone and tours all over the world.
