Comments made recently by a well known film actor about #opera & #ballet made me realize something. That many DO IN FACT care about opera & ballet.

In scary times like these it's nice to see some positive things in our social media feeds that genuinely gives us hope ❤️ Long live ALL human artforms!

A part of our childhood is now gone due to the passing of Birgitta Andersson. Thank you for all the laughter throughout the years, may you rest in peace. #BirgittaAndersson #RIP

Seems to be the case...

Thought at first it was something wrong with my wifi... many seem to have issues right now

Same for me...

The concert takes place 15.40 at Hässleholm Kulturhus March 1 this year. Tickets are available on the website.

I strongly urge you all to look up BBQ, and to follow them on social media for more updates!

I am so happy to announce the world premiere of my piece "Skogvættir" by the fantastic Baltic Bassoon Quartet (BBQ) next month!

This composition was written back in 2023, and is an atmospheric work with references to nature and Nordic folklore. So excited to finally have it performed!

Artistic director Danielle Strader, the musicians, the dancers/choreographers, and I have been working together to reimagine how musicians and dancers can move together and embrace musicianship as the beautiful, physical art form that it is.

The project envisions some of my solo pieces (or “monologues”) for various instruments, as expanded studies in both music and the movement required to produce it.

This project is centered around a series of short performances, each presenting the craftsmanship of one musician and one dancer/choreographer, who interprets musicianship through movement.

I'm incredibly excited to share this news about next year;

"The Monologue Duets" - A collaboration with New York-based dancer/choreographer/producer Danielle Strader, which kicks off on January 12th, 7:00 pm (EST), at Stella Adler Center for the Arts, 65 Broadway!

Claudia Besné | Fundación Juan March Para las salas de concierto actuales, en las que los recitales de arpa son infrecuentes, el mundo de la composición actual para el instrumento resulta un territorio inexplorado de posibilidades desconocidas. Las inspiraciones y la panoplia de colores y texturas que la donostiarra Claudia Besné hilvana en este personal proyecto, con el escenario de la March como altavoz, traen a la palestra este universo sonoro en plena ebullición, con una presencia destacada de compositoras especialmente vinculadas con el arpa.

Delighted to share the news that one of my pieces will be premiered by the eminent harpist Claudia Besné on November 16!

You can listen in on the live performance in Madrid, which starts at 12.00 (spanish time) via this link.

Thank you so much! They are an amazing group. Are there any of your works available to listen on Youtube as well? I will!

My sincerest thanks to Calefax Reed Quintet for this wonderful collaboration!

We hope you'll like and share this video, and don't forget to follow this amazing ensemble on their social media platforms!

Erik Valdemar Sköld — Oðinn for Reed Quintet (2023) [Score-Video] YouTube video by Calefax Reed Quintet

My award-winning piece "Óðinn" (2023) was recently recorded by @calefax.bsky.social and uploaded to Youtube with the full score!

The world is run by edgy 14 year olds in adult bodies...

In a world with so much injustice, violence & grief, the arts becomes more important than ever.

Gutting the arts is gutting our own humanity, and with the rise of cynicism, inequality & hatred, we need more humanity, not less.

#ArtIsWork #music #speakout #savethearts #classicalmusicians #artists

I sincerely hope that this counterproductive decision is overturned as soon as possible, ir that the orchestra may continue under new management.

I strongly urge everyone who cares about the arts to speak out about this!

Chock bland medlemmarna – universitetet lägger ner orkestern Tragiskt, chockerande och sorgligt. Så beskrivs Linköpings universitets beslut att lägga ner sin egen symfoniorkester – för att spara pengar på...

Absolutely horrible news. My old alma mater Linköping University has decided to disolve its Academic Orchestra (LAO), an ensemble I played with for almost 3 years in my early 20s.

The arts is under attack from every level of society; budget cuts, cancellations, censorship etc.

Agreed.

This trend is sadly spreading everywhere, politicians (and a growing portion of society overall) downplays and completely devalues the work artists do.

With the rapid rise of AI we're considered even more useless and sometimes even looken on as burdens on the economy. Sad times.
