The village concert  heralds the coming of early summer
 

On a Sunday in the middle of June, the people of the Taby church village gather to the square of the Taby church, where the concert which heralds the coming of early summer is going to be held. They are thrilled to enjoy music and dancing together, after a long winter. During winter they had to stay inside the house. It rains on this day. Chilly and rainy days are not rare in June in Sweden. They play folk music. The stringed instrument with a keyboard is a traditional instrument nyckelharpa. Its origin dates back to the 14th century. It is played by young generation, too. It is in vogue again. Lovely dogs wait quietly and watch people enjoy the music. The short and precious summer is beginning now. People celebrates of the coming of summer and enjoy singing and dancing all day.
