Now it’s time to report and summarize the project “Samspel och nya musikaliska möten”,  a project about playing together.
It has been great fun, I’ve learned a lot and it has also been so inspiring to meet and make music with people during the year.
Thank you very much dear colleagues and a big thank you to Konstnärsnämnden, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee, whose financial support has made it possible!

Here comes the summer gigs, welcome!
