Herborg Rundberg

Herborg Rundberg is a Sea Sámi from Gáivuotna (Kåfjord) in Nord-Troms, now living in Tromsø. She is a composer and pianist with both classical and rhythmic training. Over several decades, she has created a very personal and unique musical style, both as a composer and pianist, by combining expressions from Sea Sámi culture with art music, improvised music and jazz. With the duo LEAGUS, who played at Borealis in 2024, she has released three critically acclaimed albums and toured both at home and abroad. Additionally, she writes for large ensembles and orchestras, for smaller constellations, for theater and for silent films. Herborg draws inspiration from crafts, duodji, nature and academia, and common denominators in her music are the use of motifs, structures, space and direction.
