FREDRIK HAGSTEDT
Born in 1975 in Gothenburg (Göteborg), Sweden.
Composer as well as poet, lecturer, tutor and conductor.
Through his music he hopes to offer the listener tools to develop/expand consciousness of perception, contribute to rising awareness of intellectual impressions, emotions and thoughts as well as the origins of music, which for him express joy of existence.
Hagstedt's music has strong roots in a tradition where the melody is a qualitative concept, not just tones after each other. Therefore music's role and usability is for him primary and quest for originality, secondary.
In addition to poetry he writes lyrics to his own compositions. He has conducted ensembles with up to 17 musicians and singers.
A large number of pupils at The Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg, Blekinge International Brass Academy, Ljungskile Folkhagskola och KulMus Fralunda.
Tutor in musical composition at upper secondary school; part of The Stenhammar Project organized by Society of Swedish Composers (2006).
â€Composer of the year award†at Bergslagens Kammarsymfoniker summer workshop (2003).
Winner of composition contest held at Uruppfarandeklubbens festival in Fagersta (2002).
