Seventh International Days of the Nyckelharpa
at castle
BURG FÜRSTENECK
(Germany)

October 7 - 10, 2010

… more than just a weekend of playing!

The nyckelharpa is a bowed string instrument and is similar both to the fiddle and to the hurdy gurdy. A short bow is used.

The nyckelharpa has wooden keys that slide under the strings and have tangents set perpendicularly to the keys that reach up and stop (shorten) the melody string. It resembles moveable frets which move to meet the string, rather than pressing the string against a fingerboard or frets.

This invitation is intended for people from everywhere with all levels of nyckelharpa experience (as well as folks motivated to learn) to play, share experiences, and take lessons together.

Torbjörn Näsbom, (Sweden), grew up in the province of Uppland and learned to play the fiddle from his father. Even when he was young he had the privilege of meeting great figures like Eric Sahlström and Viksta-Lasse. Later he started to train as a classical violinist at the Swedish Radio College of music at Edsbergs Castle and the Royal Conservatory in Brussels. After studying he worked with the Umeå Symphony Orchestra at Norrlands Opera, and it was there he started to play the nyckelharpa. At first it was in a pleasant and controlled way, but as time went on it became more and more of a dependency. Of course he plays folk music, but he has also explored how the nyckelharpa works with classical and baroque music. He performed as soloist with Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Drottningholms Baroque Ensemble, Umeå Symphony Orchestra, Gävle Symphony Orchestra and Stockholms Baroque Orchestra and others. And he also toured with Ann-Sofi von Otter in various parts of Europe and the USA. Together with the bass-player Sebastian Dubé he recorded the CD called "Vatten" ("Water").
