Throughout 2021, a set of cello études will be composed in close collaboration with ensemble recherche’s cellist Åsa Åkerberg. The pieces will be developed through workshops leading up to a premiere in late 2021. More details in due course.
The piece NowState (2018), for piano, will be performed on the 14th of November 2020, by pianist Paulo Pacheco, during the Música Viva 2020 festival in Lisbon, Portugal. The venue is O’culto da Ajuda, home of MISO MUSIC.

The piece Elementos (2018), for piano trio, is set to be performed by ensemble recherche in Freiburg on the 7th of September 2020 during the Ensemble-Akademie. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisation hopes the Akademie can still take place:
Even though the present situation creates planning uncertainty, we currently assume that we will be able to hold the Academy Week in September.
