I am very fortunate to have several performances of my music coming up this year!

These include world premieres of pieces like "Rán" with Malmö Symphony Orchestra at Malmö Live, "Drífa" with the new string quintet R5 at Odeum in Lund and "Södergran Songs" with Fredrik Hagerberg & Josefin Sundström in Nagu, Finland.

More information about these concerts (as well as more concert dates) will soon follow! The project "Fred i vår tid", with the amazing Gothenburg Oboe Quartet, will also return to the concert stage. I urhe everyone to be on the lookout for that! 🤩

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Norrköping Symphony Orchestra (SON), Michael Bartosch, Östgöta Kammarkör, Jakob Grubbström and Crusellkvintetten for a successful collaboration during the 2024 edition of Norrköpingsljud!

I also want to thank the organizers of this festival for including my works this year, I has been especially fun to work with SON, an orchestra which I grew up listening to while living in Norrköping. I sincerely hope that we'll have the opportunity to work together again soon!

The FB-event to the concert with Norrköping Symphony Orchestra (which occurs during Norrköpingsljud on Friday 24) is now out!

On the program is my piece "Ægir" from 2020, a piece which deals with the existential issue of climate change through themes from Norse mythology.

We composers would be most grateful if you spread the word about Norrköpingsljud everywhere, we want to reach as many people as possible so that we'll get an audience!

Last week I had the absolute pleasure of meeting with the amazing bassoon class at the Academy of Music in Malmö, and going through my piece "Miniature" No. 22 for bassoon quartet! ❤️

Thank you Charlotte Naden, Joanna Cordoano, Tobias Hamström and Sofia Vecchiato for wanting to play my music, you are amazing!

So sad that I can't attend the premiere myself, but I do urge people to go and listen at the academy, in room D206 at 17.00 on May 24!

The program for the 2024 edition of Norrköpingsljud is finally available online! ❤️

This festival for contemporary music was founded in 2015 and is centered around music by composers with a connection to the Swedish city of Norrköping.

If you by any chance find yourself in the area, then I strongly recommend you come and listen to the concerts on the 23th to 26th of May.

One of the events is a concert with Norrköping Symphony Orchestra (SON) with conductor Michael Bartosch, and on the program is my orchestral work "Ægir" from 2020. Really excited about this world premiere!

I am really excited about the faroese premiere of the project "Fred i vår tid" (peace in our time) which takes place this weekend!

The amazing Gothenburg Oboe Quartet is going to perform a classical concert with works by B. Britten, G. Fauré and W. A. Mozart tonight at 19.30 at Tórshavn Cathedral, and on sunday March 3 at 16.00 they're performing "Fred i vår tid" (or "Friður á foldum" in the faroese language) at the Nordic House.

We've also been fortunate enough to be covered in faroese news media:

Greetings!

It is now only 2 days left before SMASK Malmö, which is arranged by students at the Academy of Music in Malmö (MHM), takes place at Slagthuset, Malmö!

SMASK (Sveriges MusikAkademikers Sång Kåntest) is an annual song-contest that dates back to 1991, when a group of students at Kungliga musikhögskolan initiated their own local competition after having their submissions to Melodifestivalen repeatedly rejected.

SMASK soon spread to the other music academies in Sweden and a national competition called Riks-SMASK was also formed, in which the winners and runners-up of each local contest compete.

You can purchase tickets to the local Malmö-competition at this website:

https://slagthuset.se/events/smask/

Book your seat now before tickets run out, hope you'll join us for this show! We promise you a fun and fabulous evening filled with puns, keychanges, a live band, choir and orchestra, as well as tons of glitter/dresschanges in the spirit of old-school Eurovision!

Only 1 day left til the swedish premiere of "Fred i vår tid"! This time I'll (hopefully) be healthy enough to attend in person and hear my piece "Grið" live for the very first time!

I want to thank Alvi Joensen, Veronika Kroell Voetmann and Gothenburg Oboe Quartet once again for this fruitful collaboration, to work with you is an absolute joy!

On March 3 this project arrives to the Faroe Islands and later during the summer/early autumn there will be more performances in Denmark during the quartets tour!

Until then, see you all tomorrow (Wednesday, February 7) in Sankt Johannes kyrka, Malmö at 18.00! Don't forget to bring your friends who might be interested in this concert along!

Last week, at KoncertKirken in Copenhagen, my new piece "Grið" for cor anglais and string trio was performed by the amazing Gothenburg Oboe Quartet during the premiere of "Fred i vår tid" (Peace in our time).

This project has been in progress for more than a year now, and I can barely put to words how proud and happy I am to see it all come together at this premiere! Bravo to the quartet!

Thank you Henrik Goldschmidt for speaking at this event, and special thanks to Line Ingvardssen for initiating this project and to Alvi Joensen and Veronika Kroell Voetmann for joining us! You've all done such a fantastic job, I really look forward to the next phase of this project!

To anyone who had the misfortune to miss the premiere, do not dispair! "Fred i vår tid" will be performed again in the Faroe Islands and Denmark next year! More info will come.
