Kristianstad, Sweden The Swedish ancestral home of the Anderson family will celebrate one of its most famous sons throughout the 2008 centennial year. Although Leroy was born in the U.S., his father, Bror Anton Andersson, emigrated with his family from Ovarp near Kristianstad in Skåne. Musicians and music lovers from the city were overwhelmed when they learned the Andersson family hailed from their region, and are working to create a variety of events dedicated to Leroy, including: > The local historical society in Norra Strö will host exhibition of Leroy's life and work. > Special events during the summer will be accompanied by a small orchestra playing Leroy's music. > A Celebratory all-Anderson concert at the Kristianstad indoor sports arena on Saturday, April 26, 2008. > Bror Anderson's birthplace will be open to visitors. > Annual Christmas concert in the Holy Trinity Church will feature Anderson material. > In mid June there will be an international music festival, including orchestras from Russia and other countries. > Every Thursday evening in August there will be music at the riverside park. > Third Sunday in August is the Sweden-America Day in Onestad, just outside Kristianstad. > Fourth weekend of August a local theater company will give a musical event including the Anderson family emigration story, emigrant songs, dancers in costumes and L.A. music. > Additional events TBA.
