Hi, nice to see you!

I am a tenor- and bass trombone player from Norway, currently living in Bern, Switzerland. I am available for horn sections, Orchestral Projects, bigbands and much more!

Since I started playing trombone at 10 in Sømna (NO), I have been living in Mosjøen (NO), Gothenburg (SE) and finally in Bern (CH). It can be difficult to put myself in a box when it comes to what i play and what i do with my time - I really enjoy playing in classical orhcestras, but playing in a pop horn section in front of a big and happy crowd is just as enjoyable. And what about bigbands? And the look in a 11 year old’s face when they learn something new? And not to forget - standing in front of a wind orchestra? Or arranging?

I have my Bachelors degree from University of Gothenburg, where I had the great pleasure of learning about the trombone from Ingemar Roos and Jens Kristian Sögaard. At the time of my studies, I got the opportunity to play in various great ensembles, such as the Göteborg Wind orchestra, Bohuslän Bigband and Gothenburg opera. Check them out! Had a great time in Sweden, no doubt.

I was able to do my Master Performance in the Hochschule der Künste Bern, with Ian Bousfield as my teacher. That was life changing - not just for my trombone playing, but also as a human being. I was surrounded by great musicians every day, and that just does something with you. At the same time I did a Praktikum in the Theater Orchester Biel Solothurn, playing from time to time with Swiss Jazz Orchestra, and enjoying my newfound love for free improvisation.

I did my Master in Music Pedagogy at the same school - this time with Rex Martin, Bernhard Bamert and Samuel Blaser as my teachers. What a great bunch of teachers i’ve met! In the years of my pedagogy studies I got to do another Praktikum, this time in Berner Sinfonieorchester, as well as starting conducting Musikgesellschaft Toffen (wind band) and freelancing around Switzerland (and a bit in Norway!).

In 2022 I lived in Norway to teach and conduct in my hometown, but I also got the opportunity to play in the Oslo Jazz ensemble, Euroradio Jazz Orchestra and Trondheim Symfoniorkester, which I enjoyed to the fullest. Since February 2023 I am back in Switzerland, playing in different ensembles, teaching and conducting. The most fun i had in 2023 was playing in the horn section of Kunz in summer festivals in Switzerland.

I am currently teaching trombone in MSR Thun, MSR Wohlen and MS Worblental Kiesental. I play Bass Trombone in Unglaublech, and i freelance all around Switzerland.

And then i knit. A lot! If you need gloves or a hat - you know who to call!
