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.

Yesterday was really amazing! After almost a year of meetings and planning for our project "Fred I vår tid", we had our very first workshop with @goteborgoboekvartett at @mhm.lu.se 👏

I want to thank the musicians of this amazing quartet for a fruitful first session, I really look forward to the next one!

It's amazing how much the inspiration flows after you've met and discussed your music/techniques with the ensemble. Now I can't wait to get back to completing my piece "Grið"! 🤩

I went to S:t Johannes K:a yesterday to hear @sommarorkester perform their very first concert in Malmö for their 10th anniversary tour! What a fantastic performance, and such an amazing repertoire! 👏

Souvenirs de Florence by P. I. Tchaikovsky is easily one of my favourite pieces for strings, so to finally hear it performed live by this remarkable ensemble was truly an amazing experience! I would absolutely love to cooperate with them sometime in the near future!

Also a big shoutout to @vagspelduo who played with the orchestra for the encore, what a joyful and incredible piece! Hope to hear more! 😄 good luck to all musicians on their ongoing tours!
