Matthew Peterson come to The Gotland School of Music Composition in August 2008 to compose an opera. Matthew had studied composition in Bloomington, Indiana with prof. Sven-David Sandström and had received a Fulbright grant. In June 2009 there were sketches for a big part of the opera and one aria had been beautifully performed by Sofia Jernberg and the Norrbotten NEO conducted by Petter Sundkvist.  

During this time of the year our students are normally fully occupied to produce a music festival in Visby called Ljudvågor. In the middle of May all the ensembles and choirs that they have composed for are arriving – with the exception of GotlandsMusiken who of course are already here. The Ljudvågor festival usually offers around 50 premieres during 10-12 concerts.

2020 will be different. Our students have reorganized themselves to produce a digital festival. The website will be the new stage.

Under current circumstances, admission to Gotland's Tonsättarskola will be done using tools for online video communication. We'll probably use Skype or Zoom.

We have good experience from education using Zoom and are confident that this will work just fine. We will not be able to show you our wonderful school with the fantastic location in Visby's harbor. But we can still meet online

Interviews for the 2-year Composition Course: May 23-24.

The concert is cancelled due to the corona-virus
