About Music in Dalarna

Music in Dalarna is a regional music foundation with a mission. This mission, as well as most of the financing, comes from the Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs and Region Dalarna. Our purpose is to support, stimulate and develop the musical life of Dalarna. Music in Dalarna initiates, produces and promotes musical events all year around.

Music in Dalarna works in two areas, the small Symphony Orchestra DalaSinfoniettan and Live music in schools.

DalaSinfoniettan
DalaSinfoniettan is a flexible orchestra, you can meet us as a small symphony orchestra or as an intimate chamber orchestra. We give concerts with opera stars and famous soloists, we cooperate with pupils from the Music Conservatory, we can be seen in nationally broadcasted concerts or in school concerts. On the programme you primarily find music from Swedish composers from the twentieth century but also from early baroque via the important classical and romantic composers to contemporary music.  DalaSinfoniettan also take part in crossover concert within jazz, folk music and popular music.

DalaSinfoniettan tours 10, 000 km per year over the whole region, playing over 80 concerts in all 15 cities of Dalarna. DalaSinfoniettan was formed in 1988 and numbers today 28 permanent musicians. Several of them can also be seen as soloists, conductors, jazz musicians or music teachers.

Summertime DalaSinfoniettan participates at the spectacular Dalhalla outdoor arena, a limestone quarry that forms a natural amphitheatre, in the northern part of Dalarna.

Artistic Director of DalaSinfoniettan is Bjarte Engeset.

Live Music in Schools
The goal of Live music in schools is to provide concerts to schools in the whole region with professional and pedagogical live artists. We do 140 – 150 concerts for around 15, 000 children and youngsters every year. The artists performing are mostly freelance artists with various musical background and genres.

We also encourage and support live music projects aimed towards young people. One project is International Exchange, folx. For example we work with Viljandi in Estonia where young folk musicians from Dalarna and Wales take turns and visit both countries for workshops, concerts and sessions.

Musik Direkt is a nationwide musical competition, the biggest in Sweden, open to all genres. The participants must be between 13 and 19 years old and appear live on stage. About 5, 000 young musicians play in Musik Direkt annually and the competition is arranged all over Sweden by the regional music institutions and the Swedish Concert Institute/Rikskonserter.
