Guest musicians Staffan & Lena Jonsson from Bollnäs, Sweden will play for us. The siblings have been playing since before they were born! Their family is very active musically.

Lena & Staffan formed a quintet when in middle school and the group still plays together. They made an excellent recording, now out of print.

Both have studied music their whole lives. They have played in many different groups. Both have sought out higher education in music and folk music traditions after finishing high school.

They are now Riksspelman, a national merit award & honor received for their knowledge and skill playing the music from Hälsingland, the province of Sweden where they come from.

You can look them up on each of their MySpace pages. Lena Jonsson, Staffan Jonsson are their names.
