Laci Boldemann

Laci Boldemann (24 April 1921 – 18 August 1969) was a Swedish composer of German and Finnish descent.

[2] In 1941 his citizenship forced Boldemann to join the German army and fight in the Soviet Union, Poland and Italy; he was later imprisoned in the US and returned to Sweden via France and Germany.

[1] After returning to Sweden in 1947, he joined the Swedish Composers’ Society and served as Secretary and Treasurer (1963—1969).

He was also on the board of the Swedish Performing Rights Society and the Joint Council of Artists and Writers.

[1] His instrumental work is characterised by both lyrical freshness and percussive propulsion, in a traditional rather than avant garde style.
