Bengt Forsberg

Bengt Forsberg is a leading figure in Swedish music. He is a much sought-after chamber music performer and appears frequently at festivals in Europe and the Nordic countries. His regular collaborators include mezzosoprano Anne Sofie von Otter, cellist Mats Lidström and violinist Nils-Erik Sparf, with whom he has made a number of recordings. Forsberg and von Otter have given recitals worldwide and several of their recordings have received prestigious awards. Forsberg’s solo career includes regular performances with the leading Swedish symphony orchestras as well as with many orchestras abroad.
Forsberg’s repertoire is impressively wide, and it is not unusual for him to bring forgotten works back into the limelight – these might be unusual works by well-known composers or undeservedly neglected works by lesser-known composers. Forsberg is artistic director of the chamber music at Allhelgonakyrkan (All Saints’ church) in Stockholm.
