At Hildasholmsstämman, we will experience an intimate encounter with some of the tradition-bearers of Swedish folk music.

Ola Bäckström, Pär Ohlsson, Peter Rousu and Maria Wernberg present folk music sprung from Dalarna, with influences from Ångermanland. It will be a concert where the heartfelt, delicately beautiful and melancholic meet the danceable and swinging.

The concert takes place in the salon at Hildasholm, a venue where the music can come close to the audience.
