I was born i Goteborg, secund generation, from
a jewish area near Vilna/Russia. I began playing the trumpet
at the age of five. When I turned
sixteen my life got very intense, mixing studies at The Gothenburg
Conservatory (later Musikhögskolan) with work in various symphony
orchestras.
1972,
1973 and 1974 I was the only Scandinavian trumpetplayer who
qualified for the
"World Orchestra" of Jeunesses
Musicales. The orchestra, lead by Zubin Metha and
Leonard Bernstein
among others, toured in Europe, in the US, Canada and Israel.
Between 1975 and 1980 I worked as a composer and musician at
Goteborgs Stadsteater
(The Main Dramatic Theather of Gothenburg). From 1980 and
onwards I have chosen to
work
strictly as a free lancer. As
an independent artist I got experience from different gigs
and ensambles:
 Baroque
Conserts from 1974 in Dalsland-Sweden, Prof. Bengt Eklunds
Baroque Ensamble.
