The spelmanslag will play at ten to
fifteen public performances each year. In past years, performances have consisted of playing for dancers at Skandia Folkdance Society's Third Friday dances, The Swedish Cultural Center pancake breakfasts,
and the Nordic Heritage Museums Tivoli and Yule Fest.  The crown jewels for performances each year are
playing at the Scandinavian dance for Seattle Folklife and at Skandia Midsommarfest in June.
The Seattle Skandia Spelmanslag is a non-profit
organization. Musicians will not be paid for their performances. Proceeds from performances will be placed into the organization's treasury and will be used to pay for such things as music instructors
and costs associated with hosting visiting Scandinavian music groups.
As performance dates become known, a signup sheet for musicians will be available at practice sessions.
Because the spelmanslag membership is "open" and also because many spelmanslag musicians are members
of others groups, attendance at performances will vary, but will usually be between 10 to 15 musicians.
