The organisation and its activities

The organisation was founded year 1978 and it is
the first Kantele Association in Sweden. The NGO has done a big amount of pioneer work to make the beautifully sounding instrument and culture more known in Sweden. It is a continuous work. We will also spread this beautiful instrument to other countries by giving concerts, seminars and workshops. We are also very open towards cultural exchange and cooperation with other NGOs.

The NGO set up the first Kantele School in Sweden and is authorized.

More information about the activities of Fall 2011 will follow later in August.
