Christian Lindberg - CsardasChristian Lindberg is one of the most remarkable musicians of our time. His career has taken him from the pioneer who established the trombone as a solo instrument to the world famous virtuoso to whom the most prominent contemporary composers have devoted more than 80 trombone concerti. He is today regarded as THE trombonist of the 20th century and one of Sweden´s foremost international musical personalities. Recently he has parallely established himself as a conductor and is now the chief conductor of two Swedish orchestras. His early experiments with writing music for his own instrument have developed him into an internationally sought after composer with commissions from orchestras such as Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Scottish Chamber Orchestra. There are few other musicians who can show such versatility in their activities as Christian Lindberg and who do so many different things on such a high international level.
