The Norwegian Seamen's Church in New York presents the Swedish guitar soloist, Mr. Krister Dahlström, in a concert on Saturday November 14th.
Krister Dahlström was born and raised in Visby on the Swedish island of Gotland and studied under Professor Karl Petersen at the Academy of Music in Aalborg, Denmark, and celebrated master guitarist Simon Dinnigan at the Birmingham Conservatoire in the UK, where he graduated with a degree from the soloist programme in 2002.
Krister performs as a guitar soloist but also freelances as a chamber musician with various ensembles, in various contexts. Concert organisers and members of the Swedish business community frequently commission Krister to perform at seminars, conferences, shareholders’ meetings and a variety of events both in Sweden and abroad.
Krister Dahlström is a classical guitarist renowned for his keen and sensitive interpretations of the great masters, while his light-hearted and entertaining causerie makes him an excellent contemporary ambassador for classical music.
