Quartetto Ars Nova is - as the name implies - drawn from Ensemble Ars Nova. It specialises in the contemporary quartet repertoire and in newly commissioned works. The quartet comprises Bodil Rørbech, violin, a freelance soloist and chamber musician with a solo repertoire comprising works written for her by composers in Europe, the US and Latin America; Andreas Hagman, violinist and alternating leader of the Malmö Opera Orchestra, frequently in demand as a chamber musician, for instance as a member of the Aros Quartet; Markus Falkbring, viola, principal viola with the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra and a high-profile chamber musician in many different contexts; and David Peterson, a cellist with the Malmö Symphony Orchestra and a frequent performer in various chamber music constellations.
Stefan Östersjö studied with Gunnar Spjuth and Per-Olof Johnsson at the Malmö Academy of Music, and with Peder Riis and Magnus Andersson in Stockholm. He is one of the few guitarists to master the 10-stringed guitar as well as the 11-stringed alto guitar. Östersjö has performed at major Swedish festivals for contemporary music as well as in Albania, Denmark, France, Germany and Poland (Warsaw Autumn), and lectured and given recitals at Swedish music colleges. He has founded two trios and given numerous concerts in different constellations of Ensemble Ars Nova. Östersjö has recorded extensively for the Swedish and Danish broadcasting corporations. His first solo CD (Stefan Östersjö, dB Productions) received a Swedish Grammy Award in 1998 for "Best Classical Album 1997". | |
