Fred Holmlund Trio

Fred Holmlund made a remarkable debut as a soloist at Malmö Live with the Malmö Symphony Orchestra, performing the iconic Concierto de Aranjuez at the start of the year. A prizewinner in numerous competitions, Fred has also been awarded prestigious scholarships, including the Rosenborg-Gehrmans scholarship. The Royal Academy of Music praised him, stating: “With his virtuoso guitar technique combined with an energetic and dynamic performance, Holmlund captivates the listener immediately.”

The Fred Holmlund Trio is the result of Fred's desire to explore new musical landscapes through collaboration across genres. While the guitar remains at the heart of their sound, the trio thrives on the fusion of diverse musical influences. Bassist Jakob Gerhardsson brings a jazz sensibility, while percussionist Isidor Abdelkader contributes a rich background in folk music. This dynamic mix creates a unique crossover project, blending Brazilian music with classical, pop, and jazz, offering audiences a unique and captivating concert experience.
