Om mig

Adjunkt saxofon på Inst. för Klassisk musik.

I did my soloist debut in 2002 with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra performing the Edison Denisov concerto for alto saxophone and orchestra and I've been active as a soloist as well as a chamber- and orchestral musician ever since.

I am also a part of the Nordic Saxophone quartet.

Undervisning

Between 2008-2018 I was teaching saxophone at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus (Denmark) and I've been doing lots of master classes around Europe as well as teaching at Université Européenne de Saxophone de Gap (Frankrike).

As a teacher I strive to get my students to be curious, ambitious and social with a strong desire to find collaborations which are the most important skills when entering the professional musical world.

Since 2012 I am a Henri Selmer Paris performing Artist and I am also one of the founders of the Nordic Saxophone Festival.
