HERBERT LINDHOLM
was born in Porvoo, Finland in 1946. He studied flute with
Juho Alvas at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, and
completed his Diploma in Flute Performance in 1972. He have
worked as the principal flute teacher at the Kuopio
Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Finland from1969 until
2009. He has also studied the basics of conducting with
Jorma Panula and Jussi Jalas, and composition with Sakari
Mononen and Joonas Kokkonen. Lindholm has had concerts and
master classes with his own works around in Finland and
abroad in Sweden, Spain and Norway. He has been a member of
the Society of Finnish Composers since 1993 and director
musices since 2010.
The greater part of Lindholm's output comprises chamber
music works for flute. His musical language is melodic and
free-tonal. The suggestion of ancient mysticism is often
evident in his works.
Lindholm, as composer and pedagogue, wants to provide a
bridge between the more traditional and the most modern
musical styles. He also aims to create music which is
idiomatic for the instruments, and which is comfortably
playable for the musician.
