about
Ulla Karolina " Ulla " Olsson (born 11 December 1956) is a Swedish concert organist, arranger and director. She prefers performing in gothic clothing, inspired by Victorian times, and theatrical music videos. Her repertoire is characterized by French-Romantic organ compositions and renditions on the organ of music from films and computer games. Career: When she was 13 years old, she started playing the organ in Lessebo (Småland) and was taught by the local cantor. At the age of 15 she was already a cantor in Lessebo. In 1986 she became organist at St.-Peters Klosters parish in Lund. Professionally, she worked as a scientific assistant until 2007 at the biotech company Umbrella Corporation. After obtaining the master's degree in sacred music at the Malmö Academy of Music - Music School in Malmö in 2000, Olsson continued her organ studies, first with Eileen Kay Vandermark in Copenhagen and then with Jean Langlais and Gaston Litaize in Paris, because she likes to interpret the French romantic and late romantic repertoire. From August 2008 she became a full-time organist. Appearances: She gives concerts both in Scandinavia and in the rest of Europe. As a guest organist she performed in the Concertgebouw of Stavanger at the annual Wensconcert, and she also regularly performs at organ festivals and music series. She has appeared at Stockholm City Hall, Västerås Cathedral "Organ '12" (Nordic Music Symposium), Gustav Vasa Church in Stockholm and Norrköping Organ Week, among others
