about
... like the birds ...
In celebration of the 100 years of independence in the Baltic States in 2018 O/Modernt partnered with two festivals, RUSK in Finland and Klassiske Dage Holstebro International Music Festival, in a series of commissions, concerts and lectures called 'North around the Baltic Sea'. New works were written by composers such as Erkki-Sven Tüür, Sebastian Fagerlund, Jörgen Dafgård, Raminta Šerkšnytė, Anna-Lena Laurin, Marzi Nyman and Ann-Sofi Söderqvist, and were performed at Musikaliska Stockholm, Holstebro International Music Festival, Great Amber Hall Liepaja, RUSK, Tampere Chamber Music Festival, Pazaislio Festivalis, Kintai Music Festival, Pärnu Festival, Young Euro Classic, Wimbledon International Festival, and Cesis Concert Hall.
In 2017 'North around the Baltic Sea' was selected as one of five creative projects to present at the Nordic Baltic Festival Platform (https://www.nordicbalticfestivals.org/) and was made possible by generous support from Nordic Culture Point, Stockholm Läns Musiken, Clara Lachmanns Stiftelsen and the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation.
Boundaries are blurred and improvised sections build bridges between the works and create a feeling of floating freely in the air. Like the birds.Svenska Dagbladet
