Hans-Ola Ericsson

In 1996 Hans-Ola Ericsson was appointed permanent guest professor at the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen, Germany.

He served as the project leader of the "Övertorneå-project", an exhaustive documentation, reconstruction and restoration of the most important instrument of the Swedish Baroque, the organ of the German Church in Stockholm.

He has held guest professorships in Riga, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Amsterdam, as well as lectured and performed at a large number of leading organ festivals and academic symposia worldwide, persistently campaigning for the quality of new music and its right to be heard.

He excels in a wide range of styles, from early to contemporary music, always looking to infuse his playing with historically informed practices.

He was referred to as the prototypical organist of the 21st century, his music displaying a versatility focused on every sound and on its compositional context."

Today, he is in high demand as a concert organist, a composer, a teacher and a consultant for organ restoration work.

He has worked namely to restore an organ dating back to the 17th century sitting in the German Church in Stockholm.
