Hilda Thegerström

Thanks to training under Franz Berwald, in April 1856 she was able to perform Chopin's Concerto in F-minor accompanied by the Royal Swedish Orchestra.

Brought up in Solna, she began studying the piano at the school run by Adolf Fredrik Lindblad after which she received lessons from the Dutch pianist Jan von Boom.

She gave concerts in Weimar and Munich and at the Tonkünstler Festival in Leipzig in June 1859 where she performed a duo with the cellist Friedrich Grützmacher.

Thanks to the development of the railways, she was also able to give concerts in Gothenburg, where in November 1860 she performed Mendelsohn's Piano Concerto in G minor.

[3] In 1872, Thegerström replaced Jan von Boom as principal piano teacher at the Royal Conservatory, after which she gave few public concerts.
