The Organ Hangout

Leo Lindberg – Organ
The young pianist Leo Lindberg has already played with many of Sweden’s greatest jazz profiles, such as Bernt Rosengren, Amanda Sedgwick and Nisse Sandström. He has also been awarded several prizes, including the Louis Armstrong and Monica Zetterlund scholarships.

Leo Lindberg was born in August 1993 and became interested in music early on. Not least thanks to two very musical parents, bassist Owe and harpist Berit. With their support and Leo’s natural curiosity about his musical environment, he came to show great talents very early on.

Despite his young years, Leo has played with most of Sweden’s elite musicians and made acclaimed tours both in Sweden and abroad. Among many examples can be mentioned the saxophonists Bernt Rosengren, Nisse Sandström. Amanda Sedgwick and Canadian Grant Stewart.
