Handel in my Heart
...final concert of Höör Baroque Festival 2013
Music by Georg Friedrich Händel ended this afternoon the Höör Baroque Festival 2013. With "Handel in my heart" as a title, the concert in Höör Church included music from Neun Deutsche Arien, Ode for St Cecilia's Day, Samson and Giulio Cesare as well as an Organ Concerto, a Trio Sonata for flute, violin and basso continuo, and the Cantata Salve Regina. Big thanks to my amazing co-musicians Emelie Roos, Dohyo Sol, Kanerva Juutilainen, Judith-Maria Blomsterberg, Lars Vahlén, and to the host Vassilis Bolonassos!

Music in the Summer night
...hosted by Vassilis Bolonassos
As part of the opening night of the Höör Baroque Festival 2013 a late evening concert was given in Höör Church hosted by Vassilis Bolonassos, familiar from the Swedish Radio with "Alltid på en söndag" (Always on a Sunday) and "Notturno". I participated during the concert with music by G F Händel, Monteverdi and Purcell and my brilliant co-musicans (all doing solo performances) were Aureliusz Golinski (baroque violin), Hanna Thiel (viola da gamba), Dohyo Sol (lute) and Peter Lönnerberg (cembalo).

From Sundsvall to Malmö
...from Britten to Purcell
These past few days have all started with early train departures. From Stockholm up to Sundsvall on Tuesday, on Wednesday morning back to Stockholm, and today from Stockholm down to Malmö. Except for having great musical meetings and concerts I get to see the beautiful Sweden om my way!=)

Today I landed in Malmö and did a private event with music by G Fauré and G Puccini among others. I then went directly up to Höör for rehearsal of the concert of tomorrow night, as a part of the Höör Baroque Festival 2013.

Britten Celebration
...during Sundsvall Chamber Music Festival!
Gustav Vasa Church, Sundsvall
As a part of the world wide celebration of Benjamin Britten and the 100 years since he was born, the Gustav Adolf Church in Sundsvall is focusing on his music and his work and life during the Sundsvall Chamber Music Festival 2013.
Tonight I was the guest artist during the concert with choral work by Britten. Performing choirs were the Sundsvall Church Choir and Ceciliae Vocal Ensemble. Pernilla Backlund was conducting and Otto Ratz playing the organ and piano.

Larsson and Hillborg
...music for summertime in S:t Matteus Church
The masterpiece God in Disguise by Lars-Erik Larsson (music) and Hjalmar Gullberg (lyrics) is very special and dear to me! It was one of the first pieces I did when playing the cello in the Höör Chamber Orchestra a long time ago, with Viggo Edén as the conductor. Since then the music reminds me of my childhood, of my musical developement, of the lovely season of the upcoming Summer and of dear friends from that time in my life!
Tonight I had the great joy of doing God in Disguise with Lars Johansson Brissman (barytone), Etienne Glaser (reciting), the S:t Matteus Choir and Symphony Orchestra and conductor Sonny Jansson.

A new musical experience for me during the Summer concert in S:t Matteus Church tonight was the piece O dessa ögon (Oh these eyes) composed 2011 for soprano solo and strings by Anders Hillborg to lyrics by Gunnar Ekelöf. The audience was moved by this breathtaking piece where the lyrics and the melody are put together in one long phrase from the beginning until the end! I'm really looking forward to do this wonderful music soon again!
