COMPOSITIONS

Composing has been important to me since I can remember: what started out with writing down small findings while improvising, became a more serious ambition and is today an indispensable part of my musical life.

I seek to create a more personal contact with my listeners by offering them musical stories, inspired by what happens in the world around us. On this page, you will find a selection of my works as well as the upcoming premieres and performances of my compositions.
