Kalv på resa (the Kalv Festival on tour), with Duo Gelland and Elsbeth Bergh, April 13-17, 2015 in Sjuhäradsbygden, sweden.
I had a number of musical instrument inventing and -building workshops with children of different ages and origins, and, together with Duo Gelland, composition workshops usually ending up in concerts together. The Gellands usually let the children paint to the music they played – and then used their paintings as graphic scores for improvisations.
