The talented young baritone Arvid Eriksson now returns to the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Berwaldhallen where he made his debut in 2021 performing Faurés Requiem. This year he will also make his debut with Västerås Sinfonietta and meet the award-winning Ensemble Correspondances for the first time.

Born in Uddevalla in 1998,  Eriksson currently lives in Stockholm, where he graduated from The Royal College of Music in 2021. His teachers during the training have been, among others, Petteri Salomaa and Erik Årman. He also holds a degree in church music. He began his professional career at the age of sixteen, singing with the renowned ensemble Göteborg Baroque, of which he was also a member until 2022. Arvid has focused on the performance of art song and concert. Among the highlights of 2022 were performances of Handel’s Messiah with the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra and a tour of Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder in an arrangement for baritone and piano quartet.

Eriksson’s extensive concert repertoire includes works by Bach such as the St John’s Passion, St Matthew Passion, Christmas Oratorio, B-minor Mass and several cantatas, Handel’s Messiah, Haydn’s The Creation and Stabat Mater, Requiems by Brahms, Mozart, Fauré, Duruflé and others, as well as works by Beethoven, Britten, Monteverdi, Roman, Larsson and many more.

Eriksson has performed a number of well-known song cycles, including Schumann’s Dichterliebe and Liederkreis op. 24, Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder, Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte and Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel. He also frequently performs lieder by Schubert, Strauss, Brahms, Ravel, Sibelius, and Finzi, among others. Closest to his heart, however, are the Swedish art songs, many of which he has performed, including songs by Stenhammar, Rangström, and Peterson-Berger.

Approximate concert length: 1 hour (no intermission)
