Who organises all this?
Since the Nordic Harp Meeting circulates between the Nordic countries, the local crew has a different composition every year.
In 2022 (Finland), the NHM was organised by Antti Saarinen, Yrjänä and Helka Ermala.
In 2021 (Denmark), Maria Ojantakanen was the chief organiser.
In 2020 (online only), the virtual NHM was orchestrated by Erik Ask-Upmark.
In 2019 (Norway), the NHM was organised by Stein Villa, Marit Steinsrud and Gjøvik spelmannslag.
In 2018 (Sweden), the NHM was organised by Erik Ask-Upmark.
