Workshops and Educational Offerings
We not only perform a full-length concert program, but as experienced educators we can also offer various types of tailored workshops in English or Swedish. This is a value-added feature that can be adapted to each location where we tour for the interests of local audiences and learners. See below for descriptions.
Traditional Tunes from North America
Of particular interest to Swedish learners, we can offer workshops in various folk styles from North America and the British Isles, presented in creative and engaging arrangements. These include Old Time, contra dance, Cape Breton, Québecois, Acadian, Irish, and Scottish.
