Freelance:
I began my career at the Concert Hall in Stockholm in Grünewaldsalen in 1982.
Over the years, I have had the privilege to perform in various countries, including the US, UK, France, Italy, Croatia, Denmark, Spain, and Iceland.
My performances have included piano recitals and collaborations as a soloist with orchestras, along with renowned artists, instrumentalists, and singers. My repertoire is extensive, spanning from baroque to contemporary music. Composers like Libby Larsen, Katarina Leyman, and Niklas Breman have even composed music specifically for me. Currently, I am working on a project that involves combining the music of Ryuichi Sakamoto with the works of Johan Sebastian Bach. Additionally, I make it a point to feature music by overlooked female composers in my concert programs.
