study for piano #1 (2015). performed by Jonas Olsson.

The Swedish pianist Jonas Olsson has established himself as one of the most adventurous pianists on the Scandinavian new music scene today. Having initially studied with Hans Pålsson in Gothenburg, making his debut with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in 2007, he moved to Germany for a year at the International Ensemble Modern Academy in Frankfurt, followed by two years with Pierre-Laurent Aimard in Cologne, specialising in contemporary solo repertoire. Another important influence came from working intensely with Pierre Boulez as a member of the Lucerne Festival Academy between 2006 and 2009, where he took on several big solo parts, including “sur Incises” and “Répons” by Boulez and “Des canyons aux étoiles” by Messiaen.
Based alternately in Sweden and Germany, Jonas enjoys a busy concert schedule throughout much of northern Europe. Recent highlights include the complete Boulez sonatas at Copenhagen's Klang Festival in 2015 and a Rebecca Saunders portrait concert at the Aldeburgh Festival in 2016.
Jonas' repertoire comprises a large selection of works from the most important late 20th century composers such as Boulez, Stockhausen, Messiaen, Berio, Nono, Ligeti, Carter, Lachenmann (with whom he has worked closely on several occasions), Ferneyhough and Sciarrino. Equally important is his commitment to a younger generation of composers, often collaborating closely on exploring new playing techniques.
Jonas is a member of the Gothenburg-based contemporary music ensembles Mimitabu and Gageego!, and is regularly invited to play with other ensembles throughout Europe.
