Geir Draugsvoll

Norwegian accordionist and bayanist (bayan = a type of accordion), born 1967. He made his debut in 1992. He works both as soloist and chamber musician, but perhaps mostly by promoting the accordion as a soloist with Symphony Orchestras. Through collaborations with numerous composers such as Sofia Gubaidulina, Anatolijus Senderovas, Staffan Mossenmark, Bent Lorentzen and Martin Lohse, Geir Draugsvoll must also be characterized as one of the pioneers on the accordion, and he has premiered a large number of works. This includes "Fachwerk" by Sofia Gubaidulina, which is dedicated to Geir Draugsvoll, and today widely acclaimed as one of her most important works.
