Fredrik Malmberg
Conductor Fredrik Malmberg is one of Scandinavia's leading choral directors, with a large repertory that includes many 20th century works. The leader of the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir since 2012, he is also an important educator.
Nils Yngve Fredrik Malmberg was born February 22, 1969, and grew up in Tingsryd in southern Sweden's Småland region. He was trained as a church musician and organist, attending the Malmö Academy of Music and going on for further organ studies in Paris. Malmberg took first prize in organ improvisation at age 25 in a competition in Biarritz, France. He continues to be active as a church musician in Stockholm. In 2003, he founded the vocal ensemble, Vokalharmonin (in English, Harmony of Voices), which took Sweden's Choir of the Year award in 2007. That year, Malmberg was appointed conductor of the Danish Radio Choir and Danish Radio's DR Vocal Ensemble, leading programs of Italian music as well as Scandinavian works. Malmberg began to gain attention beyond Scandinavia in 2010 when he conducted the Swedish Radio Choir and the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra in a performance of Bach’s Mass in B Minor in Moscow, and he has since led choirs in Europe, the Middle East, and Japan. In 2012, he was appointed conductor of the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir. Malmberg also conducts orchestral music and has led such groups as the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. His repertory is notable for its concentration of contemporary repertory, including music by Pärt, Messiaen, Nono, and many other composers, as well as works composed expressly for his ensembles.
Malmberg has appeared on several recordings, beginning with a 2008 BIS album containing the requiem masses of Fauré and Duruflé on which he conducted and accompanied the music on the organ. For Footprint Records, he made albums of contemporary Swedish choral music with the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir in the mid-2010s, and in 2021, he returned to BIS for a recording of Monteverdi's opera L'Orfeo that brought together several Baroque groups. Since 2011, Malmberg has been Professor of Choral Conducting at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm.
