Here are our first tour dates of 2026! My duo Akleja will come to Leipzig, Frankfurt (Oder), Regensburg, Augsburg, Eberbach and Aub. Then a small tour through the Netherlands which we are very much looking forward to, with stops in Den Bosch, Groningen and Berghem. On the way back we'll play for dancing in Delmenhorst.

Today I want to give a shout-out to the crowdfunding of two of my favorite people! Björn and Christian have joined forces to celebrate one of their common passions: the WALDZITHER. It is a long forgotten traditional instrument from Germany, which has a super rich and resonant sound, is beautifully decorated, was recently honored as a UNESCO World Heritage and definitely deserves a revival!
They call their duo PLØNK and have recorded German (where Björn is from) and Danish (Christian is Danish) traditional dance tunes as well as own compositions, showing off what the Waldzither can do, when it is in good hands!
I really love hearing them play together, their music is made to move body, heart and mind alike!
You can check out their crowdfunding here: https://www.startnext.com/en/ploenk
Only 34 hours to go! 🚀
There are also singles out on streaming services, if you want to have a listen. Any kind of support is appreciated! 🌱

A lesson in slowness and carefulness. You alone decide if and when you want to come out of your shell 🐌
Here is a tune I composed about the beautiful things that stay hidden, played together with my dearest duo partner Björn. I named it "Schneckenhaus" which means "snail shell":

Passing on knowledge about my instrument and spreading my favorite tunes is a big passion of mine - and a very important part of what it means to me to be a FOLK musician. It's about sharing and spreading joy, lifting each other up, nerding around and just having an overall fantastic time together 🎉
So here's a little info about where me and my partner Björn will be teaching workshops in 2025 (only in Germany this time). Some are nyckelharpa workshops, some are open to all instruments. I'm also always available for private nyckelharpa lessons online, just so you know! 🍀
