Joachim Gustafsson
Conductor Joachim Gustafsson is active in both opera and orchestral music around Scandinavia and beyond. He is the artistic director of the Orquesta Filarmonica de Bogotá in Colombia.
Gustafsson was born in 1967. His first instrument was the violin, and he attended the University of Gothenburg from 1983 to 1987, studying that instrument. Gustafsson co-founded the Zorn Trio in 1985 and made his debut recording in that group in 1996 on the album The Zorn Trio Plays Mats Johansson. From 1994 to 2004, he was concertmaster of the Gothenburg Opera Orchestra in Sweden. Becoming interested in conducting, Gustafsson moved to Vienna. He studied there with Karl Österreicher and Otmar Suitner and also had advice and instruction from Sixten Ehrling, Leif Segerstam, and Okko Kamu, among others. He won first prize in Vienna's Jugend und Musik competition. From the beginning of his career, Gustafsson conducted both opera and orchestral music. He made his debut in the former at the Royal Opera House in Stockholm, leading a performance of Verdi's Otello.
Gustafsson went on to score successes at other houses in Sweden and abroad. He conducted Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier and Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmelites at the Malmö Opera (with whose orchestra he recorded several albums in the early 2020s), and he served as guest conductor at the Staatstheater Darmstadt im Germany in Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos and at Oper Ulm in Mozart's Così fan tutte. Gustafsson also developed a career as an orchestral conductor, becoming chief conductor of Sweden's Borås Symphony Orchestra in 2013. In both opera and orchestral music, Gustafsson has championed contemporary works. At the Jyski Opera in Aarhus, Denmark, he conducted the opera The Picture of Dorian Gray by Thome Agerfeldt Olesen. As a violinist and conductor, he has given the premieres of some 200 works. Gustafsson first appeared as a guest conductor with Colombia's Orquesta Filarmonica de Bogotá in 2011. He has conducted complete cycles of the symphonies of Beethoven, Schubert, Dvořák, and Brahms there. In 2021, he was named the orchestra's artistic director. Gustafsson's recording debut with the orchestra came in 2023 on the Dacapo label, on an album of works by composer August Nenna.
