A warm welcome for Jordas skjulte toner
The book is now out and available on the market. The response so far has been overwhelming!
Thanks to all who contributed to the book, and to those who came to the book launch of the Historical Museum in Oslo. It was a success, with a lot of people attending. It became a memorable evening, not at least because of the contributions from my friend and colleague Stefan Hagel. He took the trip from Vienna with his aulos, which he played and demonstrated.
Photos from the launch can be found on this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/annturi.ford/posts/10152331640451710
In connection with the book launch I have participated in five radio programs in the NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation):
