Recently I finished a string quartet piece for the Swedish quartett, Kristallkvartetten (e. Crystal Quartett). The quartett is based in the province of Norrbotten, the northen part of Sweden. The new piece is called ‘Vinterstilla’ (e. Winter calm) and is inspired by the beauty of the winter calm and the stilness of the province. Kristallkvartetten will soon begin a tour of Norrbotten named ‘Kristaller i Norrbotten’ featuring folk tunes and four new pieces by composers Lisa Stenberg, Emil Råberg, Björn Sikström and myself.
