Carl Petersson Bio
Pianist Carl Petersson performs throughout North America, as well as throughout Europe and Asia. In 2023, Carl made numerous trips to Europe where he gave recitals in Sweden, France, and Holland, among other countries.
A prolific recording artist for Naxos, Petersson’s albums include works by Beethoven, Burgmuller, Grieg, Godowsky, Offenbach, and von Flotow. The prestigious Diapason magazine praises his “brilliant performance” of Flotow’s two piano concerti and awards it five stars. For his Grieg album, Petersson combined a performance of the composer’s justly famous concerto with a reimagined version by Helge Evju of the composer’s unfinished concerto.
A frequent concerto soloist, he has appeared with orchestras such as the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Toronto Concert Orchestra, and the National Czech Radio Orchestra. As a highly sought-after teacher, Carl’s students have gone on to win prestigious awards and scholarships.
