| Tim Rued's Sweden Tour 2022 June 29 - July 13 |
| Fiddlers who play Swedish music already: |
| This is an invitation to join in one of the most fun experiences in Swedish fiddling. As a fiddler myself who plays music from all over the country, I can say that there are wonderful surprises in music that we will come across. From the experience of our previous tours, you can expect to meet with local fiddlers on at least 10 of the 14 days. If you can travel to Sweden for only 2 weeks, you will get the most out of that little time. If you want to spend a little longer, these 2 weeks will give you a terrific introduction to Swedish folk culture. If you plan on spending the whole summer, the tour will teach you how to travel in folk circles, and get you many connections you may find useful later in your stay. We can not only learn from the fiddlers we meet, but also just have a good time playing with them. They know the local stories behind the tunes, and can share them with us. You can play tunes for dancing in the places where the tunes originated. You can try to experience the music of Näcken on a Thursday night by a waterfall. You can meet fiddlers who have been playing 50 or more years, as well as younger canny fiddlers who are deep into the traditions. See the landscape of the old days. Visit the old fiddlers' houses. Eat the traditional foods. Learn about the old wedding traditions that involved the music. Play in inspiring locales. Your time on the tour will be an adventure you will never regret. -Tim Rued |
