Ingesund Percussion Ensemble (SE)

Where: Klingran
Duration: 60 min

Ingesund Percussion Ensemble performs newly composed music from Sweden and the Faroe Islands. The program features rhythmic and melodic works that challenge and explore the possibilities of percussion— including several world premieres created in collaboration between composers and students from both countries.

Program
Slá í ring – Runi K. Mouritsen 
A quartet piece in three movements (Stevið, Lagið, and Søgan), taking the audience on a rhythmic and melodic journey.

Nordic Connections – Rolf Landberg
A harmonic and swinging piece for melodic percussion, explicitly written for Ingesund Percussion Ensemble. Rolf is the ensemble’s leader and a faculty member at Ingesund School of Music.

In Chains – Johan Bodin Eriksson
A pulsating and atmospheric piece by Swedish percussionist Johan Bodin Eriksson, who teaches in Härnösand and runs Sweden’s largest educational program for young percussionists.

World Premieres
The concert also presents brand-new works created as a result of a musical collaboration between the Faroe Islands and Sweden. The audience will experience Dropar for two percussionists by Helena Sigurðsdóttir Lamhauge and short musical sketches by composition students from Tórshavn University and the Music School.
