Sunday the 26th Michala and Hannibal returned to play a concert at the Wigmore Hall. It was, as always, a joy to play in this marvellous accoustic and very special atmosphere. One can almost feel the spirit of all the great artist who has played there during the years!<br>The repertoire was very new for the duo, and included works for flute and guitar by Mauro Giuliani, Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Astor Piazzolla.

In october Michala, together with Lars Hannibal, had her China debut in the Shanghai International Festival of Arts in He Luting Hall at Shanghai Conservatory of Music. During their stay in Shanghai they also played an Open Air Concert -right in the center of Shanghai on the new great stage on the famous Nanjing Road.<br>They also participated in the Shanghai International Arts Fair. Here, and during her visit in China alltogether, she came to know Chinese composers and musicians, with whom she in the nearest future will start to collaborate.<br>The concert in Korea took place in the newly build Chung Mu Art Hall in Seoul. A beauitful hall with a superb acoustic, made especially for chamber music.
