Erikson, Åke
Åke Erikson (b. 1937 in Uppsala) first became known to the public as a radical composer and pianist. In 1966 he joined the lively “Uppsala league” that used to organise appreciated concerts of the very latest in new music. . Early on he worked as a jazz pianist and jazz is still very much in the picture, but he also studied classical piano both with Herbert Westrell and Knut Wiggen.
He went on to study at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (teacher of theory diploma). He has also been a teacher at the Music Colleges in Stockholm and in Gothenburg and at Uppsala University.
Erikson’s music has been very successful and has been appreciated by the audience and the critics alike as well as by musicians. It is marked by a dynamic sonic imagination, regardless of whether it is chamber music, choral work or orchestral compositions. |
