About me

Staffan Sandström, Pianist, Sweden, Culture, Music, MDH, Kultur, Musik, MDHUpdated 7 september 2020

I’m a Swedish pianist and Senior Lecturer at Mälardalen University in Sweden, where I teach piano, chamber music, interpretation and music history. Since 2011 I’m also Head of the Department of Music and Program coordinator for our Chamber Music Program.

I have been a performer since I finished my Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal College Academy of Music in Stockholm in 1998. After some years of freelancing I started my Doctorate Master of Arts program at Stony Brook University in the United States, which I finished in 2008. My doctorate studies  were made possible thanks to the Swedish Royal Academy of Music, who twice awarded me a Grand Scholarship for studies abroad.

I enjoy performing as a soloist as well as a chamber musician, and I also like to give masterclasses and lecture-recitals on specific themes or singular pieces from the piano repertoire. Since I’m very interested in internationalization, something which I find very important to nourish our artistic experience and inspiration, I have had the opportunity to perform in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa.

After spending years living abroad in the US and in Paris, France, I moved back to Sweden in 2011 and I’m now living in the countryside in a house from the 1700th century outside the city of Västerås which is the town of my University.
