Semi-finalists from Sweden, Norway and Croatia
Semi-finalists from Sweden, Norway and Croatia compete for the finals of the Eurovision Young Musician 2018
Semi-finalists from Sweden, Norway and Croatia compete for the finals of the Eurovision Young Musician 2018. Harpist Johanna Ander Ljung was nominated as Sweden's competitor for the Eurovision Young Musicians after she won the final of 鈥漈he Polstj盲rne Prize鈥� for young musicians in January, playing with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. She began her musical training at one of Scandinavia's most renowned choral schools and will shortly go to Oslo to continue her studies. She plays works by Welsh composer William Mathias, London-based Jean-Baptiste Loeillet and the French harpist Marcel Tournier. Norwegian cellist Birgitta Elisa Oftestad began her studies at the age of five and is a student at Barratt Due Institute of Music. Birgitta has studied under Norwegian cellists Tove Sinding-Larsen, Ole Eirik Ree and Truls M酶rk. She contrasts the first movement of Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto, considered to be one of the most difficult in the concerto repertoire, with Schumann's beautiful Adagio and Allegro written for horn and piano. Jan Tomini膰 was born in 2004. His love for the saxophone came when he was listening to jazz sax legends such as John Coltrane and Charlie Parker. At the moment Jan is a freshman at the secondary Ferdo Livadi膰 Music School, where he studies saxophone under Tomislav 沤u啪ek. He chooses an all-French programme.
