Sebastian Fagerlund
Sebastian Fagerlund (b. 1972) has established himself as one of the most prominent European composers of his generation. He studied composition at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki under the guidance of Erkki Jokinen and received his diploma in composition in 2004. Important aspects of Fagerlund’s work are his interest in large-scale forms and his profoundly held view of music as an expression of fundamental questions and existential experiences. His works have been commissioned and performed by numerous major orchestras, leading conductors and musicians all over the world, and span a wide variety of genres from opera to chamber and solo.
