Save the date for Ingesund’s 100th anniversary
Ingesund School of Music, originally known as Ingesund Folk Music School, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. In honour of this big occasion, there will be two jubilee concerts on 13 and 14 October.
The founder of the Ingesund schools, the legendary Valdemar Dahlgren, established Western Värmland Folk High School (which later turned into Ingesund Folk High School) and the Folk Music School (Folkliga musikskolan) in 1923 with 35 participants from ten different counties. Over the years, this resulted in a music teacher training programme, including public music teaching and music teaching offered to pupils as extramural school activities.
