SONGS FOR PERCUSSION is a collaboration between SISU and the Swedish viola player and composer Örjan Högberg. The result is very fascinating music that is both emotional and energetic, warm and wild.

SISU has since 1994 comissoned 3 compositions from the Swedish viola player, composer and Fleshquartet-member Öjan Högberg.

The Fleshquartet is maybe well known in its own right, but Högberg is among many other things also responsible for the music used in the popular drama series Berlinerpoplene on National Television in Norway.

This concert portray Högberg both as soloist with SISU and as composer.
