Anders Nyberg
Anders Nyberg is a co-procucer of the famous Swedish Movie "As it is in heaven". Eight years after its premiere it was still the most viewed film in Sweden ever. The main character of the movie is a choir leader that moves back to his hometown making big succuess both on an inner and outer level. This story is very much like Anders who after years in South Africa moved home to a small village of Dalarna (eastern Sweden). Anders' songs and music have touched thousands of people and choirs in Sweden and around the world. We are very happy that he recently made choral arrangements to some of the Mundekulla songs which will be offered as workshops during the Festival.
Together with Peter Elmberg (Mundekulla) he did a pilgrimage with song and concerts during 5 months from Trondheim (Norway) to Copenhagen in 2012. Now they have continued through Denmark and are now walking in Germany performing and walking.. for peace. Read more about Anders here.

Gunnel Mauritzson
Gunnel Mauritzson (originally from the island Gotland) is one of Sweden's foremost Folk singers and has during thirty years been an active musician and teacher, and has been teaching for twenty years at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Welcome to get aquainted with parts of our folk song heritage with both traditional folk tale songs and dance friendly melodies. Gunnel has made highly appreciated interpretations of Lars Gullin's music with her own band including highly personal music and moods that shift from quiet melancholy to roaring happiness. (Lars Gullin was one of Sweden's greatest Jazz musicians and during the later part of his life he lived in Emmaboda, close to Mundekulla.) The repertoire is both personal, traditional and lyrical. She is also the producer of the Folk and Jazz Festival that takes place in June here at Mundekulla, and participates in Mundekulla's musical "Hemstannarna". Read more about Gunnel here.

Peter Elmberg
Peter has been involved with music since the mid eighties, he has performed at a large number of concerts and is the founder of Mundekulla Retreat Center. After studying Native American history in the United States in 1996, Peter spent a year in solitude in a tiny ten-square-meter cabin in Mundekulla. Since then, Mundekulla has gradually grown into the retreat centre it is today. Peter has written more than 700 songs and recorded over 20 albums. In 2007, his song ‘Now is the time’ was described as ‘the best song ever’ in one the Sweden’s biggest magazines. In the spring of 2008, he recorded the album Songs for Tibet with some of Sweden’s most prominent musicians to promote the peaceful way of the Tibetans, and he performed 'A Song for Tibet' when Dalai Lama visited Stockholm in 2011. During the Festival he will, among other things, be sharing his Mindfulness songs and his 12 peace prayers from different spiritual traditions, and also lead the morning gatherings with Circle dances.

Ann is a higly valued part of the Mundekulla team and she will also be the one welcoming you at the reception and make sure that you have a good time during the festival.
