Why does she already feel a bit at home in Switzerland? What connection does she have to the cello? Why does she not need an instrument when composing? What should not be missing in her luggage? What does a typical day look like for Anna Thorvaldsdottir? And what advice does she have for young composers? Find out: in the new episode of our podcast "Intro".
