When

I will be one of the speakers at Music x Media in Tampere this Thursday the 29th of September. Alongside composers Ville Raasakka and Osmo Tapio Räihälä, musicologist Juha Torvinen and music journalist Eva Tigerstedt we will discuss “The role of a composer in society – is there one?” in a panel discussion, held in Finnish.

My string trio Nisus will be performed by the musicians of the fantastic Nome Quartetat  at the Kumpula chambermusic concert series, in the concert “The mind hears voices” (in Finnish “Mieli kuulee ääniä”). On the program also Haydn String Quartet Op.20/4 and R.Schumann’s String Quartet No.3. Free admission, concert program 15€.

My piano solo piece Piano Delirium is part of the show Trådar by the contemporary Cirkus Cirkör as a part of Östersjöfestivalen taking place at the Berwaldhallen concert hall in Stockholm. The piece is performed by Johan Ullén in the show.

Very excited about the world premiere of my new 20 min orchestra piece Wasteland commissioned and performed by the symphony orchestra of the Norrlandsopera conducted by their fantastic principal guest conductor Ville Matvejeff. More information can be found here.

A string trio from the Tampering Ensemble will perform my Nisus at the fifth Tampering Festival. This year’s Tampering festival focuses on works composed during the pandemic and on works by Ukrainian composers.
