Every year we strive to introduce a new piece for piccolo by Northern composers, to put the North on the map of piccolo repertoire. 

This year, we held a composition competition, and Stig Nordhagen was selected as the winner. His piece, Pastorale and Toccata, will be performed by Jona Venturi in its world premiere.

The premiere will take place on Friday, March 7th, at 18:30 in Intimsalen (Musikkens Hus).

Additionally, Edition Svitzer, one of our festival exhibitors, will publish this new work, making it accessible to piccolo players worldwide.
