Nordic Accordion Symposium

CONCERT! MARCH 1st, 5pm at the Royal Danish Academy of Music:

I'm highly looking forward to the premier of my new piece for accordion quintet/accordion orchestra, 'Cathedrals of Nebulae and Ocean Worlds', written for Prof. Geir Draugsvoll 's Nordic Accordion Symposium, which will be performed by 25 accordion students from each of the Nordic countries and the Baltics!

It's going to be quite a thrilling experience, and pretty much the only opportunity to hear the power of 25 accordionists playing together at the same time!
