Niclas Blixt holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Music Education (University College of Music in Örebro) and a Masters Degree in Orchestral and Choral Conducting (Luleå University). Besides professor Petter Sundkvist and professor Erik Westerberg, Niclas studied with Siegfried Naumann in Malmö, Stig Westerberg in Stockholm and Jorma Panula at the legendary Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. He also studied music psychology and musicology at Uppsala University and music education at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. He has participated in many conducting programs and workshops over the world, for example École Normale de Musique (interpretation and score study) in Paris, The Wind Band Conducting Workshop (conducting) in Columbus, and The Juilliard School (conducting) in New York. The lack of opportunities for Swedish conductors in the late 90s, forced him to found his own chamber orchestra - Uppsala Sinfonietta. A successful first season along with good recordings, opened up possibilities for launching a freelance career with support from maestro Herbert Blomstedt. |
