About the singers and artists

Uje Brandelius and Marit Bergman
In 2024, Uje Brandelius gave the traditional spring speech. The speech culminated in a song specially written for Skansen’s Walpurgisday celebration: “Brinn, Brasa, Brinn” which he performed together with Marit Bergman. This year, Uje and Marit will return to perform this song again.
Stockholm’s Student Singers
As early as the end of the 19th century, at the first spring greeting that students gave at Skansen, singing by a male choir played an important role. The spring greeting led to the founding of Stockholms Studentångare in 1905, which became one of Sweden’s leading male choirs. Since then, Stockholms Studentångare has participated in the Walpurgismässoaftonen at Skansen. The male choir is a permanent feature of the Walpurgismässo celebrations at Skansen.
Skansen’s folk dance group
To help us, we have six members dressed in folk costume who, in addition to the task of lighting the Walpurgismål, give folk dance performances at Skansen from May to September.
