Ronald Hue
Live Performance
September 28th 2024 at 15:00
In conjunction with our exhibition Organic Circuits we have a live performance by Ronald Heu.
Ronald Heu grew up in the south of Sweden. During his early teens he played in a variety of punk and alternative bands. After high school he studied classical guitar at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff where he graduated in 2002. With one foot in punk and its DIY approach and the other in classical music, he started composing and in 2016 he completed his first film score. The film music became a framework where he could make use of his seemingly contradictory musical background and desire for experimentation.
In 2018 he wrote the music for the multiple award winning Jordanian documentary film Tiny Souls by Dina Naser, which since its premiere in 2019 has been screened worldwide.
Ronald Hue is supported by the Nordic Culture Point, Mobility Fund
