This was a particularly happy year. There is always something unpredictable that happens when young composers and performers get together to discover all the ways they can learn from each other. The amount of collaboration and learning was impressive. It was also particularly nice to follow Magnus share his time and spend a lot of time playing his pieces with the students, which gave them a priceless feel of his way of making music.
