The Skål Klubb (pronounced
"skoal" ) is a widely known Scandinavian folk orchestra
from the Brainerd lakes area of central Minnesota. Founded in
1990, they are a group of 14 musicians who play "gammaldans"
music of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark on fiddles, accordion,
guitar, pump organ, recorder, and double bass.
The Skål Klubb was featured
in the national broadcast of River of Song, Music on the Mississippi,
on PBS television in December, 1998. They have traveled twice
to Scandinavia to take part in music festivals and learn new
tunes, and have hosted many Scandinavian groups on tour in America,
but the experience they continue to hold in high esteem is savoring
"a little lunch" during rehearsal.
