about

Jacob Benjamin Mühlrad (born April 9, 1991) is a Swedish composer. His works have been performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and National Portrait Gallery in London. Mühlrad is the youngest composer to have gotten a piece performed at The Royal Swedish Opera. Biography Mühlrad started with music when he was 15 years old and found an old broken synth and started to improvise with it. As a result of severe dyslexia he initially had big difficulties learning how to read and write sheet music. He has studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and has a master's degree from the Royal College of Music in London. In 2016 Mühlrad made his Carnegie Hall debut with his work ”Pan”, inspired by the god in Greek mythology with the same name. Mühlrad has produced work for Berwaldhallen, the Swedish Radio Choir, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. As the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor he was awarded a scholarship from Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in memory of the Holocaust ($33 000) on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2017. The scholarship was intended to fund the production for a choir piece with the Radio Choir and Eva Dahlgren based on his grandfathers experiences. Mühlrad is also a co-composer on rapper Silvana Imam's Swedish Grammy nominated album ”Naturkraft” (2016). In 2014 Mühlrad performed collaborative and experimental concert Through and Through, with Swedish contemporary artist Andreas Emenius, at
