Per Störby
Per Störby is the musical motor in New Tide Orquesta as the composer and artistic leader. He started with chamber music and developed a unique mix of fugues, counterpoint, improvisation, dynamic, minimalism and baroque music. The latest music investigates, even more far-reaching, all possibilities in the ensemble's acoustic sound palette, with more accent on art and chamber music than before.
