POLLUX WIND QUINTET
was formed in 1997 in Helsingborg,
Sweden, by leading musicians from
the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra:
Johan Skeppstedt Andersson, flute;
Carl Andersson, oboe; Per Johansson,
clarinet; Åshilld Henriksen, French
horn; and Magnus Nilsson, bassoon.
Ever since its formation, the group
has undertaken an active performance
schedule, both in Sweden
and abroad. Many composers have
been inspired to write works directly
for POLLUX, including Wolfgang
Plagge, Lennart Fredriksson and
Reine Jönsson. In the autumn of 2000, the ensemble members were invited to the
Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England, as specialist chamber
music instructors. In October 2003, POLLUX represented the vibrant chamber music
life of Helsingborg at the “Swedish Radio Music City of the Year” festival, where
they performed a highly acclaimed concert, which was broadcast live on radio from
Dunkers kulturhus, a prominent cultural institution in Helsingborg. POLLUX has
performed concerts in Darmstadt and Jülich in Germany, and has also collaborated
with renowned pianists such as Hans Pålsson, Nico Benadie and Johan Ullén. |
