NYCKELHARPA / STRINGS Swedish Melodies
From East To West
Led by Markus Svensson and David Eriksson
For intermediate players – you need to bring your own instrument and be able to repeat melodies by ear
We invite you to a meeting with masters of the traditional Swedish instrument, the nyckelharpa. We will learn traditional Swedish melodies from both eastern and western Sweden, in various styles and rhythms, selected from a very rich repertoire. They both play old nyckelharpas, so the music will have a drone sound. We may also learn melodies typical of this unique instrument.
Markus Svensson and David Eriksson are among Sweden’s most respected folk musicians. Their collaborative artistic journey spans over two decades. Together, they explore the richness of Swedish traditional music, blending regional styles from different parts of the country in their performances. Their music is faithful to historical traditions, but also filled with contemporary vitality.
