Ellin Sydhagen, Sweden
Elin started playing the viola at an early age and has since then been a devoted explorer of music. She started her studies on the modern viola and then changed to baroque in 2008. In June 2010 she graduated from the University of Music and Drama in Gothenburg, under the guidance of her teacher Björn Sjögren. She also studied chamber music at the Evaristo Felice Dall’Abacco Conservatory in Verona, with Franco Pavan, Stefano Vegetti and Enrico Parizzi, and has taken lessons with Stefano Marcocchi. As a keen performer of chamber music she frequently gives concerts with her own baroque ensemble, Ensemble Arden, and with the chamber orchestra Karlsson Baroque. In 2008, Ensemble Arden became finalist in the most important competition for young baroque ensembles in Sweden, at the Stockholm Early Music Festival, and in May 2009 they were among the finalists of another important competition in Sweden. Besides her strong interest in historical performance, she is also active as a singer, mainly jazz and alternative pop.
