The story

Music by Siljan in Leksand/Rattvik/Mora

Music by Siljan, known in Swedish as Musik vid Siljan, is one of Sweden's oldest music festivals, running every summer since 1969 during week 27 around the towns of the Siljan lake district in Dalarna, including Leksand, Rattvik, and Mora, spanning churches and community venues.

Lake Siljan sits at the centre of Dalarna, a Swedish province whose folk traditions, from fiddle music to traditional dress, have long shaped the country's sense of its own cultural heritage.
