Thank you Swedish Radio!
I thought this was pretty awesome and wanted to share with you all.. Swedish Radio has been airing my most recent release from August 2025, Serenely Sailing isthe 4th movement of the Orchestral Suite, Sirens of the Salish Sea which appears on the album, Journey to Serenity, a Navona label, PARMA recordings. And, as I was doing a search I found out that the station has a poetry reading, not sure if it’s weekly, and my piece was used as background during one if the readings in May. I’m honored that this piece was included as background!

On the page you will see: ” Musiken i avsnittet” with a drop down tab, click to see a link to Serenely Sailing on Spotify.
Anyway, I used Google Translate to obtain more clarity.
Here is the translation of what that photo details.
