Otto Lindblad

Otto Jonas Lindblad (31 March 1809 – 26 January 1864), was a Swedish composer.

In Lund, he formed a group with A. E. Christernin and J. Meurling, together with whom he played and sang a type of three part music pieces.

On 5 December 1844 he presented the Royal Anthem for the first time, at a celebration for King Oscar I.

The tour's revenue was to have been used for student housing in Lund, but the profit was too small and they only managed to bring home 1500 Riksdaler.

Otto Lindblad died in North Mellby parish at the age of 55 years, following a long period of illness.
