Folk and world music is a creative part of the modern Swedish music scene. The activities at Folkmusikens Hus are respected both nationally and internationally and it is often referred to as a model for regional and national folk music centers around the world.
The digital music archive, and the expertise surrounding it, that have been built up in the Folkmusikens Hus during the last eleven years is something Sweden should be very proud of and which must continue to evolve. Folkmusikens Hus provides a model for other similar activities, and helps to continue to inspire people with music that has been used for centuries. The archive has a high cultural value and it is important to clearly demonstrate it!
We believe that the activities at Folkmusikens Hus (including concerts, courses and research on dance and music) contribute strongly to important fields in our society. Fields like: cultural heritage values, the role of culture in society and not least, culture as a cornerstone of a democratic society construction.
This is not just an activity in Dalecarlia (Dalarna); it has great significance nationally! Folk music needs to gain a stronger foothold in Sweden and internationally. Folkmusikens Hus plays an important role in this.
