bilde Last Friday I had the privilege of premiering my newest piano concerto with young and sparkling Nordic Harmony at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo. I tell you, there is NO bigger feeling that playing your own music with a kick ass orchestra next to you!! You´ll see more to the orchestra and me together in the future :)

bilde 1 Photo text: look at all the celebrities doing funny celebrity-faces at the same time, lol! Producers from TV2 wanted me to do a showcase for them not too long ago, so I invited them all to Café de Concert to show them what I was made of! Crossing fingers! Maybe I´ll end up updating you through TV also, hehe! Was a blast! Photo text: "like a boss" bilde 3   Awesome crew! bilde 2

IMG_4925   Thank´s to the magnificent Trond Hellstrøm I now go bananas every day at Café de Concert on a HEAVENLY Bechstein concert grand. I pretty much exclusively perform on Bechstein instruments  from Hellstrøm Piano & Flygel AS in Norway if a grand piano needs to be rented at the concert venue. My old basketball coach Pål Berg gave me my old jersey I played with when I was a teenager. MAN that made my day!!!! IMG_4986
