Anna Gustavsson

Bio

Nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle) Anna Gustavson is the nyckelharpist who identifies more with the bass player than with the lead guitarist. She thrives better in the background than in front, and in GKN5 she has finally got to realise her dream – when she supports and completes the sound of Hardanger fiddle! Anna has played everything from dance halls to an international music competition in Kazakhstan. She is passionate about getting to know different cultures, genres and expressions, and mixing tradition with improvisation and composition. She has been touring with the Baroque group Lynx Ensemble, American musician Laurel Premo, and she also works as a leader in world music initiative, Ethno Sweden.
