About
A Swedish Cellist – Petronella Torin. A crazy cello player from the beautiful country of Sweden. She believed she could, so she did.
Petronella Torin was raised in a very small village in one of the most beautiful areas of rural Sweden. She spent her early youth among wild animals in the big forest and all other kinds of animals she could possibly find and take home to the family farm.
One day, Petronella suddenly decided that she wanted to become a fantastic cellist, not anymore a world-famous horse rider. It took everyone by surprise. Petronella studied a music program in Highschool, ‘Orkestermusikerprogramet’ in Vänersborg.
Upon finishing her basic education, she went even deeper into the Swedish wilderness to the beautiful city of Arvika. Where she studied with the Lektor Lars-Inge Bjärlestam at Ingesund.
Petronella started her conservatorium education in Odense, Denmark; the home of great artists such as H.C. Andersen and Carl Nielsen. Her professor for the three-year bachelor course was the great solo cellist of Malmö Symfoniorkestra, Professor Niels Ullner.
Then Petronella did an Erasmus year in Holland in the wonderful town of Maastricht. At the Maastricht Conservatorium, she worked with Ursula Smith (Professor at the Guildhall School of Music (London) and solo Cellist in Esbjerg Ensemble in Denmark).
Now Petronella just finished studying her master in music performance in Liège (Belgium) at the Royal Conservatorium of Liège with Professor Jean-Paul Zanutel.
2016 Petronella started her company “A Swedish cellist” and her project “Take Away Concerts – Feed your Ears”. Her idea is that you can order a concert to your home like take away food. Her mission is to spread classical music and build bridges between people and music. She also did a project in Sweden called “the Christmas Present of the Year is a Cellist”. This was a big success with 19 concerts in two weeks.
