Magnus Lindberg is one of the internationally bestknown Finnish composers of his generation. Lindberg is predominantly a composer of instrumental music, above all orchestral music.
His musical language is usually highly complex yet highly full of vim and verve. Lindberg is both rationalist and pragmatist, a hands-on musician - a pianist - who participated in many premieres in the early stages of his career and founded the experimental Toimii Ensemble.
Lindberg studied composition at the Sibelius Academy with Einojuhani Rautavaara and Paavo Heininen (diploma 1981) and later in composition masterclasses with Franco Donatoni, Helmut Lachenmann and Brian Ferneyhough. In the early 1980s, Lindberg moved to Paris for several years, studying privately with Gérard Grisey, the developer of spectral music, and Vinko Globokar, whose interests lay in the social functions of performing and in improvisation in contemporary music. IRCAM and the impressive figure of Pierre Boulez contributed significantly to Lindberg's mental landscape.
Lindberg has won the Unesco Rostrum in 1982 (…de Tartuffe, je crois) and in 1986 (KRAFT). He has also received the Koussevitsky Prize and Nordic Council Music Prize (1988). His latest award is the Wihuri Sibelius Prize in 2003.
Featured composer at several festivals, Magnus Lindberg is also much in demand as a teacher of composition masterclasses.
