Stefan Moberg - recipient of the 2008 Guido Vecchi Prize

Stefan Moberg was born in Gävle, Sweden in 1979, started playing the cello when he was 16 and made his debut in Elgar's cello concerto at the age of 18. At the Malmö Academy of Music he studied with Hege Waldeland, graduating with a Master's Degree in 2006. He also studied with Melissa Phelps at the Royal College of Music in London as an ERASMUS scholar. Currently, Stefan is studying with Professor Mats Rondin at the Malmö Academy of Music, graduating with an Artist's Diploma in 2008. Recent engagements include a very well received performance of the Prokofiev Sinfonia Concertante, op. 125 in die Philharmonie in Berlin in January 2008. As a soloist and member of different chamber music groups and orchestras, Stefan has performed throughout Scandinavia, Europe, North and South America and has appeared at the "Geneva Arts Festival" in Geneva, NY, USA and the "Festival Internacional de Música Clásica Contemporánea de Lima" in Lima, Peru among others. Stefan has also recorded for the German label CPO and the Swedish label Phono Suecia, as well as live recordings of chamber music for the Swedish Radio P2. Stefan's repertoire already includes the standard concertos by Elgar, Haydn, Saint-Saëns and Dvorak as well as contemporary concertos, like the one dedicated to Stefan by the young Swedish composer Daniel Fjellström. Stefan's great interest in and love for chamber music has developed in collaborations with trumpet player Håkan Hardenberger, pianist Imogen Cooper and violinists Levon Chilingirian and Gilles Apap. Through the Danish-Swedish Cultural Foundation Stefan was invited to perform in the series "Sweden's Premiere Young Artists" during 2007. Thanks to the generous support of SAS and Ericsson, Stefan is able to perform on a J. B. Ceruti cello, made in Cremona, Italy in 1810.
