Olle davidsson

Olle Davidsson started playing bass in his family's own small orchestra at the age of 12. After high school, he began his studies with Professor Torvald Fredin at the Royal
College of Music in Stockholm. His studies also included extensive tours in both Eastern and Western Europe with
Leonard Bernstein and Sergiu Celebidache, and freelance work in various Swedish orchestras.

After attending courses in Italy and Switzerland, he continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London with Duncan McTier and Peter Buckoke. As his studies in London drew to a close, Mr Davidsson joined the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, where after a few years he was given his first solo bass position.

Since 1996, Olle Davidsson has been the principal bass of the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra. He has also worked as principal bass with the Malmö Opera and the Malmö Symphony Orchestras.

This year Olle will be the soloist in Missy Mazzoli’s bass concerto, Dark with Excessive Bright.
