PresentationSociety of Swedish Composers
Representing professional composers in Sweden since 1918
The Society of Swedish Composers represents professional composers who
are active in the field of contemporary classical music composition. It
has existed since 1918, when it was founded by some of the most
renowned Swedish composers of the day – people like Kurt Atterberg,
Hugo Alfvén, Oskar Lindberg, Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, Ture Rangström,
Wilhelm Stenhammar and others.
Fst has today 319 members, of whom 294 are composers. The other members
are either elected as associate members or as honorary members, meaning
that in their professional lives they have in various ways supported
and encouraged contemporary Swedish music.
Fst’s objective is to look after the artistic, financial and social
interests of its members, to help spread Swedish music nationwide as
well as worldwide, and generally to promote Swedish musical culture.
