Swedish Fiddlers by allie912

Swedish Fiddlers

Every day brings its own delights at my school. Here we see a visiting troupe of performers who are in town for the 3 day Richmond Folk Festival. These men and women (including a father and son) are of Swedish heritage but come from Minnesota. They performed both original and traditional fiddle music, some of it lively, other pieces mournful, all of it lovely. The main spokesman in the middle implored the audience to always keep in mind, that what ever music they sang or played, it come from the heart.
Great capture
