Modern acoustic music for violin and piano, based in the Celtic tradition.

Fromseier Rose grew out of a late night session at the 2001 Copenhagen Irish Festival. Ditte launched into a lively version of Kitchen Girl and Michael joined in on the piano. It was the first time they played together and their chemistry was evident in the music. By the end of the tune it was obvious that they had to play together and a short while later they formed the duo Contradiction. To avoid too many similarities with a German thrash metal band with the same name, they have since changed their name to Fromseier Rose.


Fromseier Rose play elegant roots music with a repertiore that combines their own compositions with contemporary and traditional Celtic and Scandinavia tunes. Their unique arrangements display a rich variety of musical sources. Ditte's full sound and rhythmic bounce is complemented by the swinging pulse from Michael's New England roots and his jazz influenced interpretations. The result is a swinging and playful conversation between two talented musicians that appeals to a broad range of audiences.
