Composer, arranger and performer, was born and died in Stockholm.

English
Gunnar Hahn (b. 1905, d. 2001 in Stockholm) was a composer, arranger and performer with a special interest in songs, entertainment music and folk music. In 1932 he made his debut as a pianist in Stockholm, and since 1936 he led his own ensembles in the performance of folk and dance music for Swedish Radio. Hahn has always had a strong interest in the music of Northern Sweden and is remembered especially for finding ways of arranging and performing folk music at a time when it was not considered acceptable for radio broadcast because it was “out of tune!” (Jon Washburn)
