Simon Berggården (b. 1981) is a composer living in Väderstad, midway between Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden.  
Berggården’s output encompasses a large range of works: chamber music, orchestral works, solo pieces, electroacoustic music and polymedial works. 
The basis for his creative work lies in a keen interest in layers and flows within, outside and between us. The idea that music-making, composing, experiencing music and music itself are useful communicable tools with which we can explore our connections to the earth, to cultures and to ourselves thus deepening our understanding, plays a central role in the concepts of Berggården’s compositions. 
The materials in his compositions are uncompromisably ’worked through’,  letting the conceptual qualities of the music rather emerge than being placed on the music.
Berggården is dedicated to promote interest in active contact with contemporary music in our present day and he is active in the music scene as composer and as chairman of the composers association ’the Musicspectra T Society’, which organizes concerts, international cultural exchanges and produces publications.
