luogo e data di nascita: Karlskrona (Svezia), 1964

Staffan Storm was born in Karlskrona in 1964. 1983-86 he studied musicology and history at Lund University. 1986-92 he studied composition under Rolf Martinsson and Hans Gefors at the Malmö College of Music. He has also attended a number of international courses at such centres as the Centre Acathes in Avignon, led by Elliott Carter, Harrison Birtwhistle, Gérard Grisey and others, and the Internationalen Feriekursen für Neue Musik, Darmstadt. Storm's music has been performed at the Gaudeamus Festival in Amsterstad - 'Die blaue Grotte' was selected for the 1994 festival - and in Darmstadt, where 'Wenn das nur spiel ist', a trio for alto saxophone, guitar and marimba, was given its first performance.
Today, Staffan Storm divides his time between composing and teaching. Since 1993, he has been working as a teacher at the Malmö College of Music. He was elected to the FST in 1994. Among his more recent works are Parabeln von Gestern for soloists, mixed chorus and chamber ensemble (a work written for conductor Fredrik Malmberg), Der Sprung über den Schatten for chamber ensemble (written for Ensemble Ars Nova) and Cuatro sueños espagnoles for organ (written for the inauguration of the new Spanish organ in Caroli Church, Malmö). Other recently completed works include Serenata notturna, for solo trombone and chamber ensemble, and Lacrymosa for soprano, choir and string orchestra.

A musician with whom Staffan Storm has often worked is guitarist Stefan Östersjö. Since the early 1990s, this partnership has resulted in a number of solo and chamber music works, most recently in a piece for alto guitar, L'horizon chimérique. Another fruitful partnership in recent years has been Storm's collaboration with cellist Hege Waldeland and guitarist Gunnar Spjuth, which resulted most recently, in the spring of 2003, in the 'Sonnenuhr' duo. In 2001, the Nytorp Musik record company commissioned a song, Våren på Djurgården, with lyrics by August Strindberg, for soprano Malena Ernman and pianist Francisca Skoogh, to be included on a new record that was eventually released in the spring of 2003 to considerable acclaim. Staffan Storm has also collaborated closely with Francisca Skoogh on a number of works.
Storm teaches music theory and composition at Malmö Academy of Music.
