The aim is to enable a continuation of the funding of Marika Fältskog’s appointment as an associated professor of violin, 50% at the Malmö Academy of Music for three years, from 1 September 2017 to 31 August 2020. This three-year extension would create a prerequisite for her to continue her efforts and grow the great work she has established in recent years at the Music Academy. Marika’s unique skills are extremely valuable in ensuring quality in the programme.
