Gunilla von Bahr

A ubiquitous flutist at the start from the digital age because of her many LPs and CDs for BIS, Gunilla von Bahr found her recording profession wane after her divorce from Robert von Bahr, who ran that label. Gunilla in no way retired, though; she continuing to execute and elevated her actions as an educator and music administrator. She started learning the flute at age group eight, and by 14, she was playing within an amateur orchestra in Malmö. She analyzed at the University or college University of Music in Malmö and in the Royal University of Music in Stockholm, whereupon she spent five years playing in Sweden’s numerous orchestras prior to going freelance like a soloist. Von Bahr perfected all four types of the flute, and even though her repertory prolonged back again to the Baroque period, she eventually concentrated a lot of her interest on songs, with an increase of than two dozen composers composing music specifically for her. In the middle-’70s, she started producing recordings for BIS. The eclectic selections issued beneath the name Sun Flute had been especially effective, some selling a lot more than 100,000 copies each. From 1987 to 1990, she was the movie director of Kronoberg’s local music organization, after that offered from 1990 to 1995 as movie director from the Malmö Symphony Orchestra. Von Bahr was the creative movie director from the Norrtelje Chamber Music Celebration from 1991 to 2000, and founded the Baltic Academy Base. In 2000, she became rector of Stockholm’s Royal University of Music. She passed on in 2013.
