26/5 Concert with Fretwork in Bergen.
I have the great pleasure to sing with one of the "finest viol concort on the planet" at one of the nicest festivals in Scandinavia!
The music we will perform together is both old and new- Purcell, Vaughan Williams, Tan Dun and Sally Beamish. Fretwork will also play music by the cool and very talented Maja Ratkje. I am very honoured.

2/7 Karlsson-Holmertz in Nyksund.
Last year, on our way to Nyksund, we heard on the radio about a bomb in Oslo... About a man who had started shooting and killing young people at an island... The day after, in shock and deep sorrow we tried out best to do what we could to understand and to, somehow, comfort each other. We decided that we had to go through with the concert, because, even though it was extremely hard, music really is a language that can translate tears into something else.
This year we will remember Utøya, by doing some of the music we did last year, but there will also be songs and sounds from Rolf Wallin, Tansy Davies, Bob Dylan and...
