At last!! The sun is shining and all nature responds with Spring flowers and birds beautiful singing!

Since it's Easter this week I have been working with music for the Holy week at Bromma Folkhögskola. My singing students have been introduced to Stabat Mater by G B Pergolesi. On Good Friday I will perform this beloved piece together with alto Mikael Bellini in Västra Ryds Kyrka at 15.00. Most welcome!

Dear Viggo!
Thank you for important years of music education through my childhood in Höör! Thank you for sharing your music and your musical knowledge. Thank you for your energy and spirit in every single project you initiated. And, thank you for believing in me!!
Rest in peace, dear Viggo!

Dear Gustaf!
I'm so greatful for all magical moments of music we shared together; B minor Mass by J S Bach, Requiem by W A Mozart, Mass in C minor by W A Mozart, to mention a few. Thank you for always being so kind and for all meaningful talks before and after concerts.
The Requiem by Gabriel Fauré, the 26th of December, was my last concert with you.
Dear Gustaf, rest in peace!

One year ago I was a part of the successful stage production of St Matthew Passion (by J S Bach) at Folkoperan, Stockholm. Tonight, in Vårfrukyrkan Enköping, I had my first reunion with the masterpiece since last year and it touched me deeply. This music is as soulful and beautiful as it is brilliant composed, and it's always a joy being a part!

Performing tonight were:
Hannah Holgersson, soprano
Ivonne Fuchs, alto
Niklas Engquist, evangelist
Mathias Brorson, Jesus
Teit Kanstrup, bass, Pilate
Camerata Vocalis
Baroque ensemble
Jonas Marmbrandt, conductor

Today we met for rehearsals in Vårfrukyrkan, Enköping. Last time I sang in this beautiful church was November 2013, doing Israel in Egypt by G F Händel. This time it's St Matthew Passion by J S Bach. So wonderful to be a part of this heavenly music again!!

Most welcome to the concert tomorrow night at 18.00! My co-musicians are:
Ivonne Fuchs, alto
Niklas Engquist, evangelist
Mathias Brorson, Jesus
Teit Kanstrup, bass, Pilate
Camerata Vocalis
Baroque ensemble
Jonas Marmbrandt, conductor
