• Elisabet Ljungar, regissör

  Elisabet Ljungar är en högskoleutbildad regissör och violinist som har arbetat inom en mängd dramatiska genrer; alltifrån barock till helt nyskrivna verk inom opera, musikal, kabaré och talteater. Bland hennes uppdragsgivare kan nämnas Kungliga Operan, Göteborgsoperan, Norrlandsoperan, Värmlandsoperan, Malmö Opera, Nordnorsk Opera samt stadsteatrarna i Stockholm och Borås. Genom sin djupa musikaliska kännedom har hon ofta och gärna uruppfört ny musikteater. Ett exempel är världspremiären av Mats Larsson Gothes Blanche och Marie – om Marie Curie – på Norrlandsoperan 2014, nominerad till världens bästa nyskrivna opera.

  Ljungar grundade och var under åren 2001-2012 konstnärlig ledare för kammaroperakompaniet TeaterTravers, vars målsättning var att sprida musikdramatik till en ny och bredare publik. Åren 2015-2023 arbetade hon som musikchef och konstnärlig ledare, först vid Norrlandsoperan och därefter hos Nordiska Kammarorkestern i Sundsvall.

  ”Music and its pitch, rhythm, and structure are full of meaning; they help to develop a context for verbal understanding. Therefore, through my involvement in the Baltic Sea Festival Science Lab, I expect to engage and connect with a broader audience, effectively conveying complex scientific concepts related to emerging diseases in the Baltic Sea by utilizing music as a universal language and a powerful tool in science communication.”

  ”This project intrigued me and I felt curiosity to create music through a collaboration with a researcher. As a composer and sound artist I believe that raising awareness about Baltic Sea issues and protecting nature in general is important. I am excited to see what possibilities this collaboration holds!”

  ”I believe that music can engage our emotions and help us to better understand complex interconnections – something that we urgently need to address the world’s sustainability challenges. The Science Lab makes it possible to communicate my research to a wider audience in new and engaging ways. I feel very inspired about this collaborative and creative process, and I am excited to see what will happen when music and science blend together!”

  ”The work of a scientist is very similar to that of an artist. We develop our manual skills and techniques in the laboratory, spend hours discovering what people did before us and need creativity to think of something new. I hope that, through interactions with other creative minds at Science Lab of the Baltic Sea Festival, I can look at my work from another perspective and maybe discover some new angle.”

  “As a composer, I rarely find inspiration in musical or artistic matters. Rather, the world around me and the beings who inhabit it have always fascinated me and often make their way into my creative processes, one way or another. Collaborating with a researcher, especially one focused on ecology, immediately caught my interest. I’m genuinely looking forward to learning from and finding inspiration in the works of composers and researchers across the Baltic Region. I’m excited to explore how my music and perspective can contribute to their endeavours.”

  ”By participating in the Baltic Sea Festival Science Lab I hope to contribute with a small piece of knowledge on the challenge of reaching a Baltic Sea that is unaffected by hazardous substances from human activities. I also hope to be inspired, find new ways of thinking and to meet a new audience.”

  “Applying to the programme felt like a natural continuation of what I have been occupied with in my creative work recently – dealing with musical depictions of ecological themes, often in interdisciplinary settings. I am very much looking forward to learning more about communicating topical concepts through music and performance.”

  Alumn, Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań, Poland

  ”I am deeply convinced that music is a way and means (and sometimes an obligation) of transmitting knowledge, experiences, beliefs and will. Especially about the most important things – a sustainable society is certainly one of them. It is a great privilege and honor to be able to join the team. Thing which I am most looking forward to is a cooperation with a researcher, which may lead to amazing new areas of meeting art and science.”

  ”About 10 years ago in Aarhus, a microbe was discovered that made us rewrite our biology textbooks: cable bacteria. These creatures conducts electricity just like an electric wire, in the mud of the Baltic Sea and beyond. Like many researchers working with cable bacteria, I fell in love with these unique lifeforms and want to share their story with the world. Having a personal passion for music and science communication, I’m thrilled that cable bacteria will soon be able to listen to their own song.”

  “It’s exciting when, as a composer, you get to step out of the sandbox of music and use your craft to communicate and collaborate with other forms of art or thought. I’m greatly looking forward to learning, making new connections, and sharing the whole experience with others this coming August. See you in Stockholm!”
