WINDOM — The Nordanstig Spelmanslag, a musical group of fiddlers from Sweden, will perform at 7 p.m. Aug. 6 at the Business, Arts & Recreation Center, 1012 Fifth Ave., Windom.

This Swedish group of 12 members is touring the Upper Midwest. The group, formed in 1952, plays Swedish folk music with mostly fiddles.
