Several of my concert programs are very suitable for performing in churches, both in connection with religious services and as regular concerts. 

Trones Lampa—Nordic folk hymns for singer, saxophone and organ

The folk singer Maria Skoog, educated at the folk department of the academy of music in Malmö, has made a selaction of religious folk hymns from Sweden and Norway, which I have arranged for saxophone, vocalist and organ (and also one piece for piano). Together with her, we form the duo Trones Lampa. Primarily, we cooperate with the organist of the arranging church, but it is also possible to hire us as a trio together with Hans Hellsten, who is professor in organ playing at the Academy of Music in Malmö and one of Sweden's most merited organ players. He has also given his "accreditation" to the arrangements, that they are suitable for organ.

" Trones Lampa held forth the old folk religious hymns. Now fragile, now vigorous, the hymnas were given a delicate and lyrical interpretation in the church of Asarum this thursday night.  […] In the middle of the music, there was peaceful rest. Despite the limited ensemble, the music filled the church well"

Trio Lagerkvist—poetry and music in beutiful harmony

Trio Lagerkvist is a group which plays my compositions based on the poetry of Pär Lagerkvist.  Pär Lagerkvist, who died 1974, got the Nobel prize in litterature 1951. His poems take sharp turns between frail light and dark anxiety, and all his life, he struggled with religious issues. The members are me on saxophone and vocals, Anna Elving on violin and vocals, and Henrik Hansson, piano. All of us are educated at the Academy of Music in Malmö.

On several occasions, I have taken part as a guest soloist in different church services. I have then played some folk religious hymns and other songs solo on saxophone, and also played along in  the normal congregation hymns. The program can be arranged according to your preferences.

I also perform music at weddings, baptisms, funerals etc, and I then play the pieces that the participants ask of me. (Music samples above)
