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...

I had an intense but wonderful day yesterday!

This afternoon we celebrated the upcoming Springtime with music and art in Hagalunds kyrka, Solna.
