Mattias Lysell

Mattias Lysell was born in Sweden and educated at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Most of his output is instrumental music and his work is characterized by containing musical material with which he has a long, intimate relationship – either taken from his own compositions or from other sources. In several works, the basic musical material derives from the works by other composers – preferably from the 16th century.

Besides composing, Mattias is teacher in composition at The Falun Conservatory of Music and in 2010-2012, Composer in Residence with Gävle Symphony Orchestra in Sweden.
