Fluteblog

I am a flutist and flute teacher from Bergen, Norway. This is where I post personal and random stuff which has a flutist or musical context to it.

Such an inspiration..!

I would suggest to check out the “play with a pro” if you haven`t tried it yet ( ;

Loved this piece (Ian Clarke - “Zoom Tube”)!

(This one in my new repertoire….? I feel like I`m up for a huge contemporary challenge… Hmmm.. I`ll let you know how it went.)

“Jean-Pierre,” said Poulenc: “you know you’ve always wanted me to write a sonata for flute and piano? Well, I’m going to,’ he said. ‘And the best thing is that the Americans will pay for it! I’ve been commissioned by the Coolidge Foundation to write a chamber piece in memory of Elizabeth Coolidge. Inever knew her, so I think the piece is yours.”

What I will think of the next time I play Saint-Saëns’  “Aquarium”.

Keith Jarrett, a creative genius…

Have in mind that the whole solo concert is improvised.

I love Piazzollas music! There is really nothing else like it. The way his crossover style between tango, classical and jazz makes the music pop!

He is mos def one of my favorite composers and playing his music truly gives me a lot of meening! 

I just got to experience the beuatiful russian ballet “Raymonda” at one of the best operhouses in the world, “La Scala” in Milano.

The flutists were amazing. It was also inspiring to hear the orchestra play and see how the conductor worked with them. 

This was truly one of the most amazing things I have attended while living in Milano.
