The musician

---

Back in the 1980's Olle started his career as a guitar player. First as an autodidact. Later on he got his education at Sjöviks Folkhögskola (1987-89)and at the Royal Collage of Music in Stockholm (1989-1993). He changed from electric guitar to electric bass and then to acoustic bass. He felt the need to play both jazz and classical music. After the years at collage Olle took private lessons on the double bass and soon found himself playing in a couple of really good amateur symphony orchestras.

In 2004 he created the duo A&O together with the soprano Agnes Lindberg Frisk. Olle started practising at the acoustic guitar again as the duo got more and more concerts. Ten years later, A&O could have around 50 concerts during a year!
The duo's speciality is to arrange music written for a bigger format down to the duo size. Music by Dowland, Händel, Bach, Mozart and Schubert is paired with folk music and more jazzy stuff and original music made by the duo. Agnes plays the violin as well. Olle often combine the guitar playing with singing or whistling.
In the summer of 2023 A&O celebrated its 20th birthday.

Since 2019 Olle is also a member of Bachensemblen Sörmland with a repertoire consisting of music by Bach and his sons. Most of the arrangements is made by the group to fit the five musicians and their instruments.

In 2023 a new duo came to light: Rosendahl & Lindberg. Mimmi Rosendahl is a lyric coloratura soprano with an operatic background.
The duo mixes arias from the opera repertoire with folk music and country music as well!
