The deadline for signing up for the FolkSweden tour to Hälsingland,
Dalarna, and Uppland this summer has been extended to April 5. I will
be starting to finalize arrangements for the tour right away after
that. See the website at www.folksweden.com.
The proposed itinerary currently includes visits with at least two
nyckelharpa builders, as well as public and private sessions with
nyckelharpa players and fiddlers. If you are going to Sweden anyway,
this is a great way to cover travel and lodging expenses for two weeks
while experiencing the music and folkculture to the fullest!
