Mjölby Ungdomsmusikkår – a unique and prosperous youth music corps
Mjölby Ungdomsmusikkår - the youth music corps is an association founded in 1956 and consists of about 120 active young musicians and majorettes.
We are a symphonic wind orchestra with a broad repertoire of music and perform both in concerts and marches. Our musical acts are often accompanied with performances of our majorettes.
Mjölby Ungdomsmusikkår is one of the cultural cornerstones in the municipality of Mjölby. We are also known as one of the leading and biggest youth music corps in Sweden.
Every year, we participate in several traditional cultural events, e.g. Walpurgis Night, the National day and graduation.
We give concerts both in Sweden and abroad. During the years, we have won several awards and prices in both concert and marching competitions.

Conductor: Andreas Niskala
In autumn 2011 Andreas was elected conductor and musical director for the Mjölby Youth Music Corps. In his more than 30 years as an active member of the Youth Music Corps, his tasks have changed in many ways. Andreas began his musical career at the age of 8 as a marching drum beater and then continued as a percussionist, leader of the drum corps, flag bearer, tambourine major, vice conductor and now as a regular conductor.
After graduating as a high school teacher for Swedish and English, Andreas completed additional training as a music teacher for percussion at the Ingesund University of Music in Arvika. Since 2006 he has been working full-time at the School of Arts in Mjölby as a percussion- and drum teacher.
