"Nature has assigned to every emotion a particular look and tone of voice, and bearing of it's own; in the whole of a person's frame and every look on his face, and utterance of his voice are like the strings of a harp, and sound according, as they are struck by each successive motion.” (Cicero) Favorite quote from my lecture in communication this week! #lecture #communication #rhetoric #cicero #marcustulliuscicero #quote #bestquotes #enskildahögskolanstockholm #teologiskahögskolanstockholm #teaching #teachingrhetoric #zoom #onlineteaching

The month of April has offered new inspiring collaborations! About a year ago I met photographer Maja Brand during an event, and a couple of weeks ago we got together again for a photo shoot at beautiful Hesselby slott (Hesselby Castle). Maja knows how to use natural environment, light and angles and she makes you feel relaxed in front of the camera!

A week ago I also got to do a lovely music collaboration with my colleague at Bromma Folkhögskola. Martin Åsander is a brilliant composer and I had the honor interpreting his song "Landet som icke är" (lyrics by Edith Södergran) during a digital performance. Martin played the piano part. Please enjoy a glimpse of the song here below.

During these special times of Covid-19 and of isolation and distancing, it feels wonderful to be able to share music, love and hope through digital media.

This Easter week it has been a great honor to contribute with my voice in sacred music for Easter Sunday, as well as for funural service.

Yesterday, during Easter Sunday, I performed some joyful music by J S Bach, Gabriel Fauré and W A Mozart in Boo kyrka, Nacka, together with Gundega Novotny (piano/organ) and Börje Westerlund (trumpet). This Easter Prayer was broadcasted live.

Earlier this week I recorded the soulful Easter message "I know that my Redeemer liveth" from Messiah by G F Händel. This recording was made with Mattias Wager (organ) and Maria Lindal (violin) in Storkyrkan, Stockholm. The song was a part of Easter Sunday Prayer in Storkyrkan and can be watched here:
