The Seattle Lilla Spelmanslag was one of the performers at ScanFest in Astoria, Oregon. This was a festival of all things Scandinavian. Anika performed with the group and was able to do a few solos on Hardingfele. The kids did great at the festival. Three performances and a parade were a lot to do in two days time along with travel but it was a great experience for the group.

Anika's Impressions:
I had a great time in Astoria with my fiddle group, the Seattle Lilla Spelmanslag. The first day was tiring since we had to get up at 8:00 and we had three performances in one day but we had a fun time. I was a little bit nervous every time I did a solo on my Hardanger fiddle. I hoped my mistakes wouldn't be that noticeable. One thing I've realized from playing the violin so long is that if you're performing and you make a mistake you just have to push on. It sounds bad if you start over. I'm going to Wisconsin for a Hardanger fiddle camp in two days and I'm excited about it. I hope I learn lots more tunes.
