Sebastian Fagerlund (born 6 December 1972) is a Finnish composer. He is described as “a post-modern impressionist whose sound landscapes can be heard as ecstatic nature images which, however, are always inner images, landscapes of the mind”.[1] Echoes of Western culture[specify], Asian musical traditions, and heavy metal have all been detected in his music.[2]
His output covers a wide variety of genres, ranging from opera to chamber music and works for solo instruments. The most prominent are his concertos and his works for orchestra.
From 2013-2019 Fagerlund was the artistic director of the RUSK Chamber Music Festival together with clarinetist Christoffer Sundqvist.[3]
