Christian Lindberg is regarded as one of the most influential brass musicians of all time. His significance for the trombone as a solo instrument can be compared to Paganini\u2019s impact on the violin and Liszt\u2019s on the piano. Through his playing, he has reached far beyond specialist circles, for example with Motorbike Concerto<\/em>, written specifically for him by Jan Sandstr\u00f6m in 1988. This virtuosic work expands the expressive possibilities of the trombone and is one that Lindberg often performs wearing full motorcycle gear.<\/p>\n

Lindberg has given the world premieres of more than 300 works for his instrument, most of them composed for him, including more than 135 major concertos. He has also recorded more than 150 solo albums. In addition, he has an extensive career as a conductor, leading many of the world\u2019s foremost symphony orchestras. Lindberg has served as music director for several orchestras, and as a composer he has written more than 50 commissioned works for orchestras and ensembles.<\/p>\n

Christian Lindberg is 68 years old but still going strong: a boundless source of energy and an extraordinarily vibrant personality.<\/p>\n

Honorary Professor<\/h3>\n

\u201cHonorary Professor\u201d is an honorary title awarded for a five-year period, typically to a musician of international distinction. Externally, such an appointment helps raise the profile of the Academy; internally, it brings fresh perspectives and great inspiration. An honorary professor typically gives masterclasses a couple of times each year, and in Lindberg\u2019s case, the Academy looks forward to a particularly high level of activity.<\/p>\n

Principal Keld Hosbond comments on the appointment:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is absolutely fantastic for the Academy that we have had the opportunity to affiliate one of the world\u2019s finest musicians and a true giant in his field. This will provide a further boost to the Academy\u2019s classical department, and it will be a tremendous source of inspiration for all students and faculty to have a musician of his calibre and with his extraordinary drive regularly visiting the institution.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

International Network<\/h2>\n

The agreement with Christian Lindberg has been made possible through the Academy’s extensive international network, not least through Professor of trombone Niels-Ole Bo Johansen. This network has recently been strengthened further with the appointment of Spanish tuba professor Pablo Fern\u00e1ndez as the new Head of the Classical Department.<\/p>\n
