Isolde Callisto Puts – violin
Isolde is in Husavik for a research project for a few months in 2024, looking into how climate changes affect biogeochemistry and ecology in the bay. She compares the ecological functioning across other northern European systems, such as in Greenland, Norway, and the Baltic Sea, and combines science with music (https://www.berwaldhallen.se/…/baltic-sea-festival…/). In her free time she plays violin and plays in different settings, and takes courses from Rebecka Karlsson. Isolde is excited to tour with the violin duo this year in a program that includes folk music.
