Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus pandemic Washington's Spelmanslag cannot meet in person for rehearsals at this point. All gigs have also been canceled. So, what remains are Zoom rehearsals every other week. Of course, nothing can replace live music with your friends, but we have fun playing along as best we can with the person who leads the tune. Thanks to Catherine for organizing this!

Playing at the Garden of Lights at Brookside Gardens on December 19, 2019, was such a lovely event. The Spelmanslag sounded and looked beautiful, and the dancers were just the perfect addition! We received heartfelt thanks and praise from the staff and visitors, and they are already asking us to return next year!
