This past summer I completed a new work for the Malmö Symphony Orchestra titled Strange Sea. This work takes its title, and its inspiration from a poem by Swedish poet Edith Södergran.

A poem by the brilliant Palestinian-Syrian-Swedish poet, Ghayath Al-Madhoun is also a source of inspiration for my orchestral work. This work will have its premiere in September of 2022. You may read more about it here.
