Performing Members
ANNA JALVING (DK)
Violin
As a musician I transcend on the borders between classical-contemporary music and improvisation. I have ambitions both as a violinist and performer, but also as a creative artist and entrepreneur. This I explore in my work as a freelance musician, with focus on contemporary music and with my
own projects. I live in Aarhus, where I am an active board member of AUT – Aarhus Young Composers, where I arrange concerts and artistic cultural events.

I also sing and play other instruments such as Ngoni, Viola D’amore and Keys.

I started playing piano at age of 5. My whole family are musicians, and most of inspiration and support came from there. I studied piano in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 2009 I moved to Russia and graduated from Conservatory in St. Petersburg, and since 2015 I live, work and study in Copenhagen. Alongside piano, I’ve also spent time studying the harp, organ, cembalo and painting. I am grateful to have played concerts as a soloist and chamber musician in Europe, China, USA and Mexico.

Cello
ODA MATHILDE HOLSTAD DYRNES (NO)
Cello
I come from Sortland in the north of Norway, a small city known for its rich cultural life, and special focus on contemporary music. In a childhood between breathtaking nature as playroom, and cello noise and sounds as toys, I grew up to a creative musicianship, and continued specializing in contemporary music and improvisation throughout my education, at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus. I now live in Copenhagen, where I work as a freelance cellist and composer.
PAULINE HOGSTRAND (SE)
Viola / Electronic
I grew up in the very north of Sweden, surrounded by nature. Music has always been a natural way of expression to me, unbound by instrument or genre. I decided to specialise on the viola and to study classical music. Since then I have graduated a master degree at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, and I am now based in Copenhagen as a freelance musician in various projects. Music to me is something we all have, its a wave to join for everyone and for everyone to meet within. My dream and my belief is that music will take me anywhere in life where i want to.
Randi Pontoppidan (DK)
Voice
TOVE BAGGE (SE)
Viola
I started operating in the field of classical music, and I was over time influenced by other styles and expressions such as Swedish and Norwegian folk music, early music, sound art and free improvisation. I’m interested in the dialogue between musician, composer and listener, the listening process and in discovering new ways of learning. I finished my bachelor studies at NMH in Oslo in 2017, where I now study music pedagogy and work as a freelance musician.
