10 years today since the tsunami catastrophe of 2004. Many memorial services were held world wide, and in Ersta kyrka, Stockholm, a memorial concert was held with music by J S Bach and Gabriel Fauré. I participated in this concert together with Patrik Sandin (baritone), Mats Bergström (guitar), Johan Hammarström (organ), Gustaf Sjökvists kammarkör and Gustaf Sjökvist (conductor).

My heart and thoughts go to everyone who lost someone dear...

I'm beginning to feel at home here in Karlskrona...! =) I have had the great pleasure and honor to sing will brilliant Marinens Musikkår (the Band of the Royal Swedish Navy) during three different productions since last year. My visit this time was for Christmas concerts at Karlskrona Konserthusteater, and tonight we did the final concert. Thanks from my heart to my friends and colleagues of Marinens Musikkår for great days, and of course big thanks to conductor Bjørn Sagstad for beautiful musical moments!

Yesterday I returned to Karlskrona after a couple of days in Stockholm. And today I woke up to a beautiful sunny December day, and couldn't wait to do the sold out Christmas concert this afternoon with Marinens Musikkår (the Band of the Royal Swedish Navy) and conductor Bjørn Sagstad at the Karlskrona Konserthusteater!
What a great concert, what brilliant co-musicians and what a lovely audience! The Christmas atmosphere was all over the place....!=)
