Jonatan Sersam studied at the Malmö Academy of Music (Luca Francesconi), the Conservatory of Bologna and the Künstuniversität in Graz (Beat Furrer). HIs voyage starts in the encounter between rapid, ruthless transformation and acoustic situations that in various ways questions the idea of progression or process. Concerned with narration, but not in a programmatic or dramaturgical sense, but the ongoing internal narration within the musical medium. He experiments with narrative structures, creating interconnections between contemporary dramatic thinking and the purely abstract flow and musical transformation of sound. His setting of a poem by A. Pizarnik – “Presencia de Sombra” was awarded with Saltöstifelsten’s Järnåker Prize in 2023. Sersam has worked with several symphony orchestras, chamber groups and soloists, and received several grants and scholarships (Swedish Arts Grants Commitee, Swedish Society of Composers, Swedish Arts Council, Carin Malmlöf-Forsslings tonsättarpris, Järnåkerstipendiet etc) and his music is reaching a continuously growing audience around the world.
