One of the major Finnish musical talents of his generation, pianist Henri Sigfridsson (b. 1974) has performed at major concert venues and European music festivals, including Salzburg, Lucerne, Ruhr, Gstaad Menuhin, and Lockenhaus. He has appeared with numerous orchestras throughout Europe and Japan under the baton of conductors Vladimir Ashkenazy, Lawrence Foster, and Sakari Oramo, among others. Henri Sigfridsson has also given chamber music performances with artists such as Leonidas Kavakos, Gidon Kremer, Ivry Gitlis, Mischa Maisky, Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Sol Gabetta, and Johannes Moser.

Henri Sigfridsson’s many successes in international competitions include First Prize at the 2005 Beethoven International Piano Competition in Bonn, where he also won the Audience Prize and the Chamber Music Prize. Earlier, he won First Prize at the 1994 International Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Weimar and at the 1995 Nordic Soloist Competition, and Second Prize along with the Audience Prize at the 2000 Géza Anda Competition in Zurich.
