Stenastiftelsen Culture Scholarship 2023 - Alec Frank-Gemmill (with subtitles)

”I’ve been told that I’m addicted to music, which is probably true.”
Motivation:
Hornist Alec Frank-Gemmill is celebrated for his virtuoso technique, exceptional tone, and musical sensibility. As of 2019, he is principal horn of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, after a decade in the same position with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
Both as a soloist, as well as in chamber ensembles and orchestras, his music is characterized by passionate curiosity and a flair for meaningful elements. Alec Frank-Gemmill’s repertoire spans from the sound world of Early Music to that of contemporary composers, and he masters the horn in all its historic varieties, from the natural horn and on.
For his ever-evolving and expanding artistry, Alec Frank-Gemmill is awarded the 2023 Culture Scholarship from the Sten A Olsson Foundation for Research and Culture.
