Per Gross is a Swedish recorder soloist and one of the leading virtuosos of his instrument. He began playing the recorder at the age of nine in the municipal music school and early on chose to focus on the instrument, even as many of his peers moved on to others. At fifteen, he made his solo debut at the Stockholm Concert Hall.
Gross completed his Master’s degree in Music/Performance in 2004 at the Academy of Music Southern Denmark, studying with Dan Laurin. Further studies at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm led to a soloist diploma in 2009. Since then, he has established an international career and received numerous scholarships and awards.
In 2008 he was awarded the Ljunggrenska Prize, which was widely noted by the press, followed by the Swedish Soloist Prize in 2010, one of the most significant distinctions of his career. The following year, Per Gross was invited to perform for the King of Sweden and international guests at Gripsholm Castle.
