MAGNUS SVENSSON

    Pianist Magnus Svensson grew up in a musical family in the forests of southwestern Sweden. His father Lars is a carpenter and amateur violinist and it is from him that Magnus found his love of classical music.

    But it wasn’t until the age of 15 that Magnus began his serious piano studies. He gained wisdom and musical knowledge from professor Stella Tjajkowski at the Gothenburg School of Music. Tjajkowski remained his principal teacher until he graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm with a post graduate diploma in music performance.

    When he completed his postgraduate program in 1998, he was awarded the gold medal for best student. In addition, he's attended master classes by Hans Leygraf, Willem Brons, Dimitri Bashkirov, and Petras Genusas. In London he studied song interpretation with Sir Geoffrey Parsons.

    Magnus has an extensive repertoire, with an emphasis on Baroque and classicism and has dedicated entire recitals to the works of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart and Schumann. He works not only as a soloist but as a chamber musician and accompanist, and over the years has gained an extensive repertoire.

    In addition to his concerts in Sweden, Svensson has performed in Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Russia, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France, and the United States.
