Låtkursen at Ekebyholm

This summer Ekebyholm’s castle will yet again open its gates and park and welcome the 48th Låtkursen at Ekebyholm. Five intense days of enjoying tunes and playing together. This year’s course dates are June 23 – 27. 

The course welcomes chromatic nyckelharpa, fiddle and this year also silverbasharpa! 

The folk music course at Ekebyholm has been an institution in Swedish folk music life since 1976, a mecca for nyckelharpa enthusiasts worldwide. Over five intense days and nights, we fill the 17th-century Ekebyholm castle and its surroundings with musicians from around the world of all ages. Most play the nyckelharpa, but we also have fiddle players and this year we also offer instruction on the silverbasharpa. 

During the individual lessons you will develop your own playing based on level and needs, in the group lessons we focus primarily on repertoire, rythm and playing together. Within the schedule there is time for your own practice, spontaneous jam sessions, dancing, singing, discussing and delving into the instruments and music from all aspects.   

As the course also includes evening concerts, participants have the opportunity to meet professional folk musicians and hear their music and stories in an intimate environment. 

This year we also celebrate that the nyckelharpa and its network is selected in UNESCO’s Register of Good Safeguarding Practices! 

All lessons are conducted by ear. We welcome all levels, beginners and amateurs as well as experienced musicians. Some have gone on to become Sweden’s foremost professional folk musicians. Those who have participated in an Ekebyholm course testify to the special spirit of Ekebyholm – that the course is so much more than just learning tunes. 

Course contains:

• Eight group lessons with different teachers, each lasting 60-90 minutes*
• Two individual lessons, each lasting 30 minutes* 
• Two group lessons in folk singing, each lasting 60 minutes
• Access to nyckelharpa builder for service and minor instrument repairs
