Fiddle - Hälsingland

Lena Jonsson teaches fiddle in the tradition of Hälsingland, Sweden.

Her ability to balance a deep knowledge of traditional Swedish folk music with innovative artistic sensibilities, the sparkling joy of life, and a charisma of a rock-star has made her one Sweden’s most visionary musicians.

Lena has performed for President Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg, and has created a unique style inspired by traditional Swedish music as well as rock, pop and American old-time and bluegrass traditions. Lena's debut album ”Places” was nominated for a Swedish Grammy in 2019.
