One of Sweden's most distinguished composers Sven-David Sandström has passed away.

From the start of the Gotland School of Music Composition in 1995 Sven-David was teaching and he was deeply involved in the deveolpment and the success of our school. In 1999 he moved to teach at the Indiana University Bloomington, US. For a number of years he remained our primary guest professor. We remember how it sparkled of inspiration in the eyes of our students as they met him.

Three of our students participated in the Frst festival, Jan 31. Ylva Fred showed a harp that she has constructed. Gustaf Ekman a dancing spider and other motor driven sound objects. Elias Duvner used a mixer console as a musical instrument by using feedback. Moreover Josh Bonnettas film "Strange Lines and Dances" was showed, Mats Lindström permformed his "One" and the audience could see dance improvisation from the Gotlands Dansutbildning. 

This year the Ljudvågor-festival includes eleven concerts starting on May 13, 19:00, Vårdklockans kyrka. The Karlsson-Holmertz duo premieres new songs for soprano and piano.

The singer and teacher Jeannie Marsh came all the way from Melbourne, Australia, to the Ljudvågor 2012 festival. Jeannie attended all the concerts and lots of rehearsals. She talked with the students, the musicians and the teachers. Jeannie was entusiastic and here is her extensive report.

Linda Alexandersson's study of the education of composition is built on interviews with four of the teachers at the Gotland School of Music Composition.
