Kalle Moraeus

Kalle Moraeus – the face of Orsa

Kalle Moraeus didn't have much choice. He was born into a musical family. Dad Erik breathed life into the fiddler's team in Orsa and was one of Dalarna's leading fiddlers. Uncle Pelle Jakobsson was a national fiddler, as are his brothers Perra and Olle and his cousin Anders . So you could say he was born with the violin bow in his hand.

He studied his way into the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra where he was permanently employed for a number of years. He kept in touch with his roots and when the collaboration between Orsa fiddlers and Benny Andersson was a fact he became a freelance musician. He is a permanent member of BAO, Benny Andersson's orchestra, has his own orchestra, participates in a variety of constellations with common denominator: music. Genres don't matter.

Kalle is one of our most famous TV personalities. As a guest, but also as a presenter in shows as "Så ska det låta "and his own concert program "Moraeus and more" (2011-2017), which was recorded by the lake in Orsa.

Kalle does not miss a chance to promote and support his home village, that he moved back to after many years in Stockholm.
