years later he made his debut as a soloist with the Norrköping Symphony

Italy, Austria, Switzerland, South Africa, China and the United Kingdom. He
has played at the Musikverein in Vienna and at the Teatro Bibiena in
Mantova.

the Stockholm International Music Competition (Sweden), the Kocian Violin
Competition (Czech Republic) and Giovani Talenti (Italy). In 2016 he won
Third Prize in the Junior section of the prestigious Menuhin Competition
(London), also winning the Chamber Music Award, the Wieniawski Prize
and the ECMY Prize for Exceptional Performance.
Johan has been a student-in-residence at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland

our time, including Peter Herresthal, Dora Schwarzberg, Mimi Zweig, Alf
Richard Kraggerud, Stephan Barratt-Due, Gerhard Schulz, Michael
