I will travel to USA in April to join musicians Rocco Jerry, Michael G Ronstadt and Eric Despard for a 7 concert tour in Vermont, Massachussetts and NY State. The Fire and Ice Tour will feature works by composers Magnar Åm, Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen, Conrad Kehn (US) and myself. Three of the works are world premieres and are written especially for the tour: "As the Wind Behaves" (Skjelbred), "Musical Doodles II" (Aagaard-Nilsen) and "Soundtracks for Movies that don´t Exist" (Kehn). In addition to the premieres the program will feature two of my works: "5 Preludes for Guitar" and "ConVergEnce". I will host every concert, and be available for after concert meetings and talks, and a panel discussion after the last concert at the MCLA in Massachussetts. I´m also invited to give a lecture at St. Michaels. Tour program:
