Iceland
I moved to Iceland in 1977, as co-principal cellist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and have lived in Iceland since. Married with one daughter and now one beautiful granddaughter. I now live and teach in the Reykjavik area.
I have been invited to be "Composer in Residence" at the annual Skálholt Summer Festival of Music on three occasions, with two large-scale works "Cantata for Skálholt" and "A Mass of our Times" receiving their premières there. More recently, concerts of my choral and instrumental works have featured at Skálholt.
In the last 15 years, I have gradually devoted more and more of my time to composing and since 1991, I have been a member of the Society of Icelandic Composers. My works are regularly performed and broadcast in Iceland, and most of the Nordic countries, as well as mainland Europe and North America.
