Anders Paulsson
Anders Paulsson, born October 14, 1961, is a Swedish soprano saxophonist.
After studies at the Adolf Fredrik's Music School in Stockholm, the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and the Conservatoire de Bordeaux in France, Anders Paulsson received a Fulbright scholarship for studies at the Manhattan School of Music, New York City.[1][2]
After his debut in 1992 in Carnegie Hall, Anders Paulsson has performed hundreds of concerts as a soprano saxophone soloist worldwide.[3] He is probably the first musician in the world to have a solo career as a classical soprano saxophonist with the focus on commissioning new music from living composers.[4][5]
He has appeared as soloist with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Swedish Radio Choir, Saint Petersburg Philharmonic, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, and Sweden-based organist Andrew Canning.[6]
His compositions for choir, soprano saxophone & organ are published on Gehrmans Music Publishing.
In 2012 Anders Paulsson was awarded the Royal Medal Litteris et Artibus for prominent artistic achievements as soprano saxophonist.
