After eight days filled with music, music and more music it is now time to close the Ethno Sweden 2008 camp. 96 participants from 19 countries made sure Ethno 2008 was a fantastic experience.

The camp (26 June - 2 July) ended with a great concert at Rättviksparken Tuesday night and then several performances during the sunny and prestigious Bingsjo fiddle festival Wednesday. The musical skill of the participants this year amazed even experienced leaders and the artistic level of the concerts and work shops was very high.

Next year Ethno Sweden will celebrate its 20th anniversary and hopefully make a special “Jubilee Ethno”. More information on this website will come - and if you want to be a part of Ethno 2009 you can start filling in the registration forms here in the beginning of 2009.
