The concert year of 2023 has begun. What better way to do so than with some great songs by Franck, Bach/Gonoud, Sibelius and arias from opera and operetta, in Årby Kirke. I really enjoy performing both the serious programs and also the concerts that are all about joy and celebration. Champagne and Danish “kransekage” in […]
Yesterday we had the pleasure to perform our concert program with new songs by Danish and Swedish composers. Most of the songs are commissioned and composed directly to us, and it’s really a great feeling to have a full concert program now. It was especially exciting to have two of the composers in the audience […]
Today we had a very exciting day with the first performance of the new song “At kome tilbake dit ein aldri før har vore”, written by the Danish composer Hanne Tofte Jespersen. The concert was arranged by Art Song Aarhus, and we performed a first half with romantic songs by Finnish composers and the second […]
This coming month of September will be a mini-tour with solo concerts playing a big cycle for solo piano – “Das Jahr” composed by Fanny Mendelssoh Hensel in 1841. This piece has been my big project during the last year, and it kept me motivated during all the concert lock downs recently. The full cycle […]
Soprano Noora Karhuluoma and I continue our work with premiering new songs by Swedish and Danish composers. This time it is the Gothenburg-based composer Erland Hildén, who has dedicated two songs to us. It’s really exciting music, written to poems by the Swedish poet Bengt Berg. Here are some pictures from the two concerts in […]
This Friday the 28th of May I was finally able to play the first concert after a 5 month break of cultural lock-down. Together with my lied-duo with soprano Noora Karhuluoma this was the first concert to premiere our new project. 7 composers in Denmark and Sweden are writing new songs for us and we […]
Yesterday I played a live concert, as part of the December series of Nordvest Festivalen in Copenhagen. It was the first time I played a live-streamed concert during these pandemic times. I was really surprised to see how it still felt like a real concert and it was possible to somehow connect with the online […]
This week Noora and I had the pleasure of performing in this beautiful hall of Kulturhuset Spira in Jönköping, Sweden. The program was our Jenny Lind-200 year anniversary concert and the hall really fits well both for orchestral music as well as lied concerts. The advertisement outside of the hall was definitely the biggest one […]
The summer concert season has begun and I feel very privileged to be able to be able to perform again. The first one was a very dear return to S:t Maria church in Ystad, where I also performed with Amy Jolly in 2018. It has really great acoustics and interior and it was a big […]
Today Noora and I finally have had a chance to play together again. What should have been a lied recital has now been turned into a pre-recorded music service, broadcasted on Youtube. We will perform three songs by Bach-Gonoud, Schumann and Verdi and it has been great to play in a beautiful church again. The […]
