HÅKAN LARSSON was born in Uppsala on the 7th November, 1959 and died in Uppsala 28th June 2012. He composed art music since the age of nineteen and studied counterpoint with Lars-Erik Rosell and composition with Anders Eliasson.
Håkan Larsson was also a jazz musician. His main field of activity consisted of chamber music and orchestral works, but he also wrote vocal music.
His works include Symphony No.1 (1994-95), Vindilar i Sär (1994) for flute, clarinet, horn and harp and a Piano Quintet (1998). His scores are characterised among other things by a high degree of complexity, but the composer emphasised that this is not an end in itself, but a result of the polyphony demanded by the musical content.
