Bio

The music of Stundom is Nordic in its essence: Inspired by the traditional dance music from their ancestors, mixed with classical chamber music tradition and several modern symphonic elements, the trio invites you into their wondrous musical world. With a blend of the cittern, the violin and the piano Emma Elmøe, Villads Hoffmann and Julian Svejgaard share a unique musical chemistry and ability to create capturing melodies.

In 2015 they started as the duo Elmøe & Hoffmann as a part of the young, growing Danish folk music scene. Emma Elmøe and Villads Hoffmann knew each other from the neighborhoods of Vanløse, Copenhagen, and shared a friendship even before they discovered their musical bond. Together they released an EP and won the “new talent” prize at the Danish Music Awards Folk in 2015. In 2017, the duo were joined by Danish folk pianist Julian Svejgaard for the recording of their debut album Vandkanten and since then the three friends have been inseparable.  

Today Stundom is one of the most acclaimed groups of New Nordic Folk Music in Denmark with Emma being the youngest ever nominee for the “artist of the year” prize at Danish Music Awards Roots. 

In September 2021 Stundom released their second studio album må jeg holde din hånd? (“can I hold your hand?”) consisting of 12 original tracks. The music is about daring to jump into life with eyes wide open, taking a risk whether it be big or small and reaching out to other people.

“The music stems from times in our lives that made an impact on us. But everyone has their own stories and we want you to make the melodies your own and use them as you please.”

With a love for all things acoustic Stundom continue to seek new ways of expanding their immersive musical universe both on stage and in the studio.

“The group Stundom (FKA Elmøe & Hoffmann) achieves something special and they have their own niche and spot among the many young folk musicians who are spoiling our ears these years”
