"Off Road - a small Symphony for two percussion players"

I wanted to improve my skills in composing for percussion, and I was lucky to be able to work with Kalle Hakosalo and Megan Campbell, two very, very skilled percussionists, in a series of workshops, developing this piece. 

“Off Road” is my first percussion-only composition. Take a look and a listen!

3 of my new pieces for flute, harp and cello were premiered

on October 22nd, 2025, at Koncertkirken in Copenhagen.

TRIO CASSIOPEIA performed the pieces "Trist", "Glad" and "Storm i Celloen" along with 8 of my other works.

The concert was repeated next day at Koncertkapellet, Roskilde.
