Föreläsning på Hantverkshuset

Welcome to Hantverkshuset Burgsvik for a lecture with Markus Svensson. It was in the first half of the 20th century that the collecting of melodies for Svenska Låtar began and the division into traditions based on province was established. How differently or how similarly might music have been played across Sweden? Many melodies in the Swedish folk music repertoire appear in variants all over the country and even in neighbouring countries. During this gathering we'll both listen to Markus's accomplished nyckelharpa playing and hear him lecture on the similarities and differences between Gotlandic and Swedish folk music. Markus Svensson is a Riksspelman and world champion in chromatic nyckelharpa, a member of the Zornmärke jury, and a teacher at Hemse Folkhögskola. After the lecture, the evening continues with a playing and dancing session. The café is open and full of treats. The lecture is free and you book a place through Nortic.
