Artists 2022

Rolf Lislevand

Norwegian Rolf Lislevand has distinguished himself as one of the world's leading virtuosos on lute and baroque guitar. Since completing his studies at the renowned Schola Cantorum in Basel, he has toured worldwide with some of the leading musicians of our time, such as Spaniard Jordi Savall. His countless recordings have been hailed as some of the best of their kind, with awards from both Grammophone and French Diapason.


As a longstanding Professor at the Academy of Music in Trossingen, he has contributed to educate the next generation of musicians. His artistic philosophy, in which human intuition is mixed with a historical awareness, has inspired many to discover the sensual tonal language of the Baroque.



Yu-Wei Hu

Flautist Yu-Wei Hu has quickly established herself as one of the most sought after traverso players on the international stage. Her love of early music was born in her native Taiwan and further developed during her studies at the Royal College of Music in the UK. As a resident of London, she has performed at several of the major festivals and concert halls such as the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, the Southbank Centre and the Royal Opera House Covent Garden.


She is also active as a soloist and chamber musician, not least through Flauguissimo Duo with Swedish Johan Löfving, who together have given acclaimed concerts all over the world and recorded critically acclaimed albums.



Johan Löfving

Since growing up in Lennartsfors, Värmland, Johan Löfving has been praised internationally for his communicative music-making and unique playing style. After taking his first musical steps with Lars Eriksson at Årjäng's Municipal Music School, Johan continued his studies in London and Salzburg. As a soloist, chamber and orchestra musician, he regularly performs worldwide and has appeared on stages such as Wigmore Hall in London and Konzertsaal der Wiener Sängerknaben in Vienna.


Together with Yu-Wei Hu, Johan is the other half of Flauguissimo, one of the fastest rising early music ensembles

Johan's first solo album Fandango! was praised by critics as 'clearly one of the best albums and players of recent times' (This is Classical Guitar).


Masumi Yamamoto

Harpsichordist Masumi Yamamoto performs extensively as a soloist and continuo player. She has given solo recitals in the London Handel Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and will this year appear at King’s Lynn Festival. She has also toured across Europe with such ensembles as the Gabrieli Consort & Players, the Academy of Ancient Music and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Also in demand as a concerto soloist, she has played concertos in the UK, Norway, Japan and Australia. She was a prize winner at the International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges.

Masumi studied at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University in Australia, Royal Academy of Music in London and then at Trinity College of Music with harpsichordist James Johnstone before completing her PhD at the University of York under Peter Seymour.


Per Buhre

Per Buhre is equally at home in classical music as in improvisatory genres of the widest possibly variety. As both violinist and singer he performs frequently on some of the finest international stages.


In his role as baroque violinist, he regularly appears with well-known ensembles such as Gothenburg Baroque and Barokksolistene. The latter has, with their unique musicianship, contributed to redefine early music and generate a whole new audience across the globe.
