The piece was commisioned by NyNorsk Messingkvintett and premiered by this excellent ensemble together with organist Anders Eidsten Dahl, on Nov.18, 2017 in Bragernes Church, Drammen.

Premiere: In Short, for a young string orchestra

16 September 2017

A very inspiring collaboration took place on Sept 15, as Barratt-Dues Juniororkester commissioned and premiered In Short, a 5-minute piece written in occasion of the 100 years anniversary of the Norwegian Composers Society. The concert took place during the Ultima festival, at Sentralen in Oslo. The rehearsals were lead by amazing energetic Soon-Mi Chung. On the concert, the orchestra played as they always do, without a conductor, and with amazing skill.  This also marked the 25 years since our first collaboration, "Etyder over Tiden".
