Red Thread is a new harmony-focused ensemble playing traditional and original tunes rooted in Eastern European, Yiddish, Irish, and Americana traditions. The ensemble infuses their interpretations of traditional music with a harmonic approach established in and liberated from classical choral singing. Frontwoman Sarah Larsson is known for interpreting traditional music from Eastern Europe as part of The Nightingale Trio, which appeared on “A Prairie Home Companion” and has been called “a revelation” by MPR Classical’s Steve Staruch. The music of Red Thread blends percussion and folk elements with an alternative-folk sensibility tied tightly to the Upper Midwest’s new music scene. Red Thread is releasing and touring the collection of songs on their new album, Immigrantke, to coincide with the 100th-anniversary of the 1924 Immigration Acts.
