Ingvar Lidholm work, "Perserna" (“The Persians”), adapted from Aeschylus’ play of the same name, and set for a cappella male choir and three soloists. This was followed the same year by "Kontakion", in which he uses Russian Orthodox choral music, again as with "Greetings from an old world" bridging early music and the avant-garde. His second opera, "Ett drömspel" (1992) is based on Strindberg's "A Dream Play". In 1993, Ingvar Lidholm won the Rolf Schock Prize. He played the violin and viola, conducted and served on musical juries. His notable students include Edward Applebaum and Anders Eliasson. Ingvar Lidholm Ingvar Natanael Lidholm
