Jaime Martin conducted the Gävle Symphony Orchestra in the premiere of the work which was the last in a series of commissioned works composed by Broström during his time as Composer-in-Residence with the orchestra.  
"A new Classic!", says the enthusiastic reviewer Camilla Dal from Gävle Dagblad.

A short video clip from the 1st movement is now available on Per Tengstrand's website.
