Every year, we strive to introduce a new work for piccolo by Northern composers, helping to expand and highlight the Nordic contribution to the piccolo repertoire.

This year, we held a composition competition, and we are delighted to announce Emil Laternser as the winner. Emil is a composer and pianist from Liechtenstein, and his piece, Everything in its Proper Place, will be premiered at the 2027 festival.

We look forward to presenting this new work during the festival and sharing it with our audience.

Additionally, Edition Svitzer, one of our festival exhibitors, will publish the piece, making it accessible to piccolo players worldwide.
