THANK YOU YMNA and dear audience!
THANK YOU YMNA and VERONICA WÅHLBERG! After a successful first performance in Haga church 8/6, we made two concerts in Alingsås and the final concert in Gothenburg, Lundby new church. I am so proud of you all! One hour of new lyrics by poet Olivia Bergdahl set to music by me, dedicated to the women’s choir YMNA, for whom I also composed ”Äggen är slut” 2017.
Happy that YMNA approached me once again with this new commission ”I need”, and impressed by the wonderful result. Bravo!
Conductor: Veronica Wåhlberg, Accordeon: me.

THANK YOU STOCKHOLM and SVENSK MUSIKVÅR (and some new plans in addition…)
The thing is…when your music is played over and over again, it grows. I am SO grateful to Stockholm Saxophone Quartet, organist Mila Orgies Thoors and Svensk Musikvår who presented the project ”Visionary soundscapes” once again. The project lives on, with full intensity. As a benefit from the concert in magnificent Stockholm Cathedral 22/3, plans of a brand new commission for the saxes, organ and choir came up…TBA later…
