This is also what <strong>Cecilia Damstr\u00f6m<\/strong> (b.1988) tries to achieve with her compositions; to make people think and feel. Born into a multicultural family in Helsinki, languages and the possibility of combining languages, have always appealed to her while composing. With a background as a classical pianist and with theatre as an interest, also harmony, direction, a sense of drama, and expressivity are always present in her music.<\/p>\n<p>Since graduating in 2014 she has constantly been working on commissions for various ensembles and festivals. Her compositions have received several national and international composition prizes 2009-2018. Her fairytale opera <em>Dumma Kungen<\/em> won the award \u201cChildren opera of the year\u201d in 2018.

Her music has been performed in Canada, Germany, England, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland and the Czech Republic. Her music is regularly performed in Finland at different concerts as well as at festivals such as <em>Tampere Biennale<\/em> (2010, 2012, 2014 and 2020), <em>RUSK Chamber Music Festival<\/em> (composer in residence 2017), <em>Time of Music<\/em> (2019), <em>Helsinki Winds<\/em> (2017), <em>Summer Sounds in Sysm\u00e4<\/em> (2015), <em>Summer Sounds in Porvoo<\/em> (2011), <em>Tampering Festival<\/em> (2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019), <em>VocalEspoo<\/em> (2014 and 2016), <em>Music By the Sea<\/em> (2019), <em>Kumaus Festival<\/em> (2019) and also at the <em>Kokonainen Festival<\/em>, where she is composer in residence (2016-2020).
