Bjarke Mogensen (born 27 December 1985 in Ronne)[1] is a Danish accordionist.
Bjarke Mogensen is an astonishment on record. Once heard, never forgotten[2]
At the age of 13 he made his debut as a soloist in a German TV broadcast with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, and he has an international career including performing with violinists Augustin Dumay and Gidon Kremer and cellist Andreas Brantelid and working as a soloist with orchestras such as the Moscow Virtuosi, Kremerata Baltica, Slovak Philharmonic, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and the Copenhagen Philharmonic, conducted by maestros such as John Storgårds, Lan Shui, Rolf Gupta, Leoš Svárovský, Beat Furrer and Vladimir Spivakov.[3]
Bjarke Mogensen studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Music as a pupil of Geir Draugsvoll and today he teaches chamber music at the same place. A long succession of collaborations with prominent living composers has resulted in many new compositions – concertos, chamber music and solo works – dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen.
In 2011, Bjarke Mogensen had his solo debut at Carnegie Hall, New York, as the first Scandinavian accordionist ever.[4]
