Ulrika Davidsson

Today we wanted to take some time to introduce you to the feature artist on our Loft Recordings release "Haydn Sonatas: Galanterien to Sturm und Drang", Ulrika Davidsson.

Ulrika Davidsson is a versatile musician, performing on piano, fortepiano, clavichord and harpsichord. She has concertized throughout Europe as well as in the US, and has presented recitals and lectures at several international conferences. She was previously on the faculty of the School of Music, Göteborg University, Sweden, and served as Organist and Director of music in Öckerö parish. Ms Davidsson holds a Master’s degree in piano performance from University of Göteborg, and furthered her studies at the Sweelinck Conservatory, Amsterdam. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Organ and Historical Keyboard at Eastman School of Music, Rochester, NY.

Also for a fun Gothic Catalog connection, we have to bring up that Ulrika is the spouse of Hans Davidsson the organist with whom we have released many albums including the recent Buxtehude collection.
