I was thrilled that my piece The Sacredness of Trees for carillon was nominated for Norway’s prestigious EDVARD-prize, in the category Contemporary Music! What an honor! The Nordic Music Days Festival (2019 in Bodø) commissioned the piece for the festival (thanks to support from The Norwegian Composers Fund), and carillonneur Vegar Sandholdt played it each day of the festival in the tower of Bodø Cathedral in November 2019. Vegar has been invited to perform the piece also at Nordic Music Days in April 2021, in Torshavn in the Faroe Islands, how wonderful!
