It's always a great pleasure doing music with my extraordinary husband and conductor Christoffer Holgersson! On the Christmas Eve midnight Mass at Adolf Fredriks kyrka, I got this opportunity, and I enjoyed singing...
A lovely audience greeted us during the Christmas concert in Essinge kyrka yesterday night! With a mixed programme of beautiful Christmas music...
Last week I ended another concert project with my student singers at Bromma Folkhögskola. The theme was music and lyrics for heart and soul.
Today I say thank you and goodbye to an amazing tour of Champions of Rock! I'm so thankful for these two past months of wonderful musical moments with the greatest singers and intrumentalists, fantastic meetings with audiences from all over Sweden and the greatest tour final at Scandinavium (Gothenburg) and Malmö Arena, each one with an audience of 8000 people!!
Another week has passed with new wonderful meetings with people on stage, back stage, audience, and new concert venues! I feel blessed!
Time flies! Another weekend of just lovely meetings with audience and co-musicians has passed! A weekend filled with both music for sparkling joy and for contemplative seriousness. I'm very lucky and I feel blessed to get the chance to express myself through all these divers ways of singing and making music!
Although last week had a very tight schedule, I was privileged with many wonderful moments, of both music and meetings with great colleagues and friends!
Ingvar Lidholm (24 February 1921 - 17 October 2017)
The music by Ingvar Lidholm played an important role of my vocal education and of my understanding and knowledge of contemporary music! One of my first experiences of his significant and amazing tonal landscape was through his songs for voice and piano. Once entering the sound world by Ingvar, and when the colourful melody lines and close harmonies are all set in body and soul, the music stays forever.
Great show of Champions of Rock yesterday at Kraft Arena Skellefteå! More than 4000 came to enjoy the evening and we got wonderful feedback from the audience! Thank you Skellefteå! Now the tour bus is going south to Örnsköldsvik! Looking forward to the evening!
Enjoying the last weeks. A great mixture of performing and giving back all my knowledge to interested student singers...
What a great opening night of Champions of Rock!! Almost 4000 people came to Himmelstalundshallen, Norrköping, to enjoy the incredible and fantastic music of Queen!
Meeting today with the band and the choir, and of course with Peter Johansson, for rehearsals!
What a perfect combination...music and picture! I have had so much fun this past week...
...singing and performing with outstanding Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Massimo Zanetti, Claudia Bonfiglioli (violin), Johannes Rostamo (cello) and my dear co-singer David Lindgren!
Thanks from my heart to the Stockholm Concert Hall for inviting me again, to all participants and producers of La Dolce Vita, and also to an amazing audiene responding immediately to the music combined with the film, and to all those of you who have given credits, flowers and support! Thank you!!
See you soon again!
What at magic opening night of the concert season! La Dolce Vita - a tribute to the music of Italian cinema!
This week I'm going Italian... Diving into the entrancing and beautiful Italian film music!!
Yesterday night was overwhelming in many aspects! As always it’s a true privilege singing the heavenly melody lines of Anders Hillborg...
One of my dreams is coming true these days...
What a glorious night in a full seated Royal Albert Hall during Prom 18! The audience was thrilled and entranced by the magnificent music of Sirens by Anders Hillborg!
Before rehearsal of Sirens with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Chorus and conductor James Gaffigan, Ida (Falk Winland) and me visited BBC In Tune for an interview about the upcoming Proms concert tomorrow and as well for singing some songs.
Today I met with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor James Gaffigan for a first run-through of Sirens!
Excited about this upcoming week! On Friday I will sing the amazing Sirens by Anders Hillborg again!
Now is the time for nature to bloom, for Summer to begin...
God in Disguise by Lars-Erik Larsson and Hjalmar Gullberg...what a perfect Summer celebration!
I am proud of my student singers...
It's been an exciting and challenging task...
We are in the exciting process of giving birth to new music...
Exciting moments and days diving into new music...
I am very proud of last evening and culture night...
I had an intense but wonderful day yesterday!
With drama and emotion St John Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach was performed...
This afternoon we celebrated the upcoming Springtime with music and art in Hagalunds kyrka, Solna.
Last week I did a recording for Love and Hope...
The past weeks have been intense and focused mainly on education in different forms...
I'm so thankful for these past days, diving again into the amazing and magical music of Anders Hillborg...
Yesterday I arrived in Manchester to replace the soloist in the masterpiece Lontana in sonno by Anders Hillborg!

Inte bara fantastiskt professionell i ditt artisteri, utan även i din lärarroll! Tack för ett fantastiskt år med dig där jag fått utvecklat rösten som instrument, modet och min musikalitet. Jag kommer bära med mig det och kunna använda det varje dag.
Eloge till en underbar sångerska, men också lärare. Kommer sakna våra lektioner! Kramar Julia -

Hannah - Even though I am fairly well versed in all sorts of classical music, I have never heard of you (or Anders Hillborg) before, I'm sorry, but heard you singing O dessa ögon this morning on BBC Radio 3 (with Sakari Oramo) and was absolutely transfixed. An amazing composition by Hillborg, but an even more amazing voice of yours, with - especially towards the end - those near-, below- and beyond- octave leaps sung with absolute security, sharpness and clarity, and with a wonderful interplay of absence and presence of vibrato. What a beautiful, transcendent sound! Thank you so much! :-) :-)

Hejsan Hannah,
Vill gärna tacka för gårdagens uppvisning i Matteuskyrkan. Det var en upplevelse att få vara med om detta och något av det vackraste jag har hört.
Fantastiskt samspel mellan dig och orkestern, och jag satt som tur var bra till precis framför dig och kunde också SE dig sjunga. Så vackert! Tack för den gåshuden!
Lev väl,
Anders -
