FOCUS SWEDEN will centre on Sweden's innovative musical directions. In solo and duet performances, the Swedish soloists Joergen Pettersson (saxophone) and Ivo Nilsson (trombone and composition) will perform works by Swedish composers (Larsson and Nilsson), representatives of the avant-garde (Globokar and Scelsi) and a trombone solo by the Israeli composer Sivan Cohen Elias. The second part of the evening is formed by MIDAIRCONDO, a duo comprising the multi-instrumentalists Lisa Nordstroem and Lisen Rylander. Their music combines electronic and acoustic sounds that present an unusual mix of sophisticated pop and free improvisation (between jazz and contemporary avant-garde).r

Jörgen Petterson, born in 1964, has developed into one of Sweden´s most prominent soloists. He studied at the Conservatoire National de Bordeaux in France, were he was awarded first price. When returning to Sweden he became the first saxophone student ever to be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma and an Award for Excellence at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.

The growing interest in the special qualities of the saxophone as an instrument, and also in contemporary music, owes a lot to his technical skill and artistic temperament.
