Fredrik Hangasjärvi Orchestra

With roots in Norrbotten and a background in Swedish folk music, Fredrik Hangasjärvi Orchestra combines tradition with personal expression. The orchestra is a seven-piece band led by national fiddler and accordionist Fredrik Hangasjärvi. The band consists of established musicians, including Sanna Kalla (The Magnettes), Daniel Wejdin (Räfven) and a bunch of experienced musicians from Norrbotten.

 

Hangasjärvi himself is known from, among other things, Raj-Raj Band, has a long career behind him and was named Accordion Player of the Year in 2024 – the first Norrbottenian ever. The band continuously releases new music and has recently been highlighted in SVT's documentary Inblick.

 

On March 18th, they will come to Studio Acusticum for a powerful show with high energy and strong Norrbotten nerve!
