The chapel of Bromma folkhögskola
During the first weeks at school we have focused on sacred music and as a final of this period we presented today different musical compositions of the prayer Ave Maria. Ave Maria by Bach-Gounod, Schubert, Caccini, Thórdarson, Alain and Saint-Saëns were performed without break. Along with the music the students lighted candles, and we succeeded in creating a room for reflection, tranquillity, prayer and meditation.

Hannah Holgersson at Löddeköpinge kyrka
Finally I'm heading back home to Stockholm. I have experienced great and intense days with wonderful musicians and today I did my final stop on this last tour. I performed this afternoon during a private event in Löddeköpinge Church in Skåne County with a program of mixed genres from Edvard Grieg to Sarah Dawn Finer!
I must admit that I'm a bit tired. Not only because of the early flight from Bergen this morning, but also because of all musical input and output these past weeks. I'm looking forward to a couple of days of resting my voice, but after that I will dive joyously into music by Vivaldi and Purcell! =)
Hannah Holgersson with a great Bergen view!
What a success! The Norwegian Soloists' Choir and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra were a perfect match and performed the Choral Fantasy by Beethoven and Friede auf Erden by Schönberg beautifully and with an extraordinary brilliance! Special thanks to amazing pianist and conductor Leif Ove Andsnes as well as to wonderful conductor Grete Pedersen!
I'm very pleased with my first visit to the Bergen International Festival as well as with my first performance with the Norwegian Soloists' Choir! Let's hope we meet again...!
They say that it's always raining in Bergen....but I must say that I have been lucky... It rained when we arrived yesterday, but since then it has been almost blue sky and sunshine...! As my visit ends I am now listening to beautiful raindrops outside my open window as I pack my bags for a very early flight to Copenhagen tomorrow morning. A private event is waiting for me in the south part of Sweden. Let's get some sleep....!

During the rehearsal at Griegakademiet the rain stopped and we got a wonderful pre-summer's evening! I took the chance to see and experience Grieghallen (our concert venue tomorrow night) when attending the opera performance "Voices and Votes". Looking forward to sing in this amazing hall as a part of the Bergen International Festival.
Hannah Holgersson on her way to Oslo
This morning I took off to Oslo, Norway, to meet Det Norske Solistkor (the Norwegian Soloists' Choir) for the first time. It was a pleasure singing with their conductor Grete Pedersen again.

This time I will be a part of the Det Norske Solistkor as they go on tour to Bergen and the Bergen International Festival.

Time flies...St Matthew Passion has reached its ending... In one way it feels as if the production at Folkoperan started yesterday. On the other hand it feels like all people involved have known each other for ages!
The last performance this last Sunday ended with a warm response from the audience with standing ovations, and on stage a strong emotional moment of love and tears... We have shared together a very special and unifying period of time. This production has ment a lot for so many people and I am so grateful for being a part of this project, for all the magnificent musical moments and for the opportunity to not only share the story from my own innermost, but also experience the opened hearts of others!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to:...my beloved husband Christoffer Holgersson (Chorus Master)!
