My orchestral piece Movements was performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Nobel Prize Concert on December 8th 2018. Conductor: Karina Canellakis
It is possible to see the concert at SVTPlay until June 9th 2019 (in Sweden). The whole programme starts with an interview with me and then the concert begins with Movements:
On Saturday December 8, my piece Movements will be played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Nobel Prize Concert 2018, Stockholm Concert Hall.
Conductor: Karina Canellakis
Link to score available at Gehrmans Music Publishing Company
Swedish Television will broadcast the concert on December 8 at 8pm.
This piece was first performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017 as a commission for the Ceremonial opening of the Swedish Parliament.
On Sunday November 11 my new piece for orchestra will have it´s world premiere at Musikaliska, Nybrokajen 11, Stockholm at 6 pm. Conductor: Hugo Ticciati. Performing orchestra: O/Modernt plus members of Swedish Wind Orchestra.
The piece was commissioned to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Gehrmans Music Publishing House with support from Inge and Einar Rosenborg´s Foundation for Swedish Music.
The piece is a “companion piece” to Swedish composer Lars-Erik Larsson´s Pastorale Suite , capturing the antithesis – the metropolitan pulse – some eighty years later. This reflection of contemporary urban life mirrors the many-faceted movements throughout a day, from dawn to dusk.
Performed by Mikaeli Chamber Choir.
Conductor: Anders Eby
Soloist: Sara Niklasson
This piece will be performed at Eric Ericsson-hallen on October 26 with Lena Swanberg as soloist. Concert starts at 7 pm.
