The organist Carl Adam Landström was born in Grenna in 1983.
Already as a ten-year-old he played the organ after being inspired
by Marianne Jansson, the organist in Grenna church, who was his musical mentor
during his formative years.
At the age of seventeen, he entered the Royal College of
Music in Stockholm. The Solo Organ was taught by Professor Ralph Gustafsson and
Improvisation by Tomas Willstedt and Professor Stefan Therstam. After basic
studies at the Academy of Music, Carl Adam went on to further studies in
(Sweden), England with David Sanger and France with François-Henri Houbart.
He participated in
master classes with Kimberley Marshall, Loic Maillé and Pierre Pincemaille.
In the spring of 2011 he concluded his studies at the Royal
College of Music Diploma course. Carl Adam has been featured on numerous CDs,
radio and TV recordings, and at special events such as the Nobel Banquet.
Besides his activities as a freelance soloist Carl Adam
worked as an organist at Katarina Church in Stockholm. Since June 2011 he is an
organist in St Peter's Church in Malmö. Beside that, he is teacher in organ at Malmo College of Music.
He has twice been awarded the Royal Music Academy
scholarship.
