Guðný Jónasdóttir, cellist. Photo taken by me May 1st, as we workshoped my new piece Loftkastali (castle in air) for solo cello. It was a lovely day full of interesting talks, music and sunbathing in between. Guðný will premiere the music at her final recital in Royal Academy of Music in London in June this year. In fact, I just sent her the final edit of the piece and I´m very excited to hear her lovely interpretation.


This is an older photo, taken at the first workshop with Guðný in Jan. or Feb. this year.
