Andrej Power

Leader

Andrej Power became Leader of the London Symphony Orchestra in 2023. He is also principal concertmaster of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and is frequently invited to guest lead orchestras including the Swedish Radio Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. 

Andrej has appeared as a soloist with most orchestras in Sweden and his solo performances, many of which have been broadcast on radio and television, have taken him to the US, China and across Europe with orchestras such as the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Beijing National Opera Orchestra and the Utah Symphony. Chamber music is a big part of his musical life: he regularly performs in different groups and also has his own quartet. 

Inspired by his grandfather Naoum Power, Andrej began playing the violin at the age of three. He subsequently studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm with Professor Henryk Kowalski and at the Zurich University of the Arts in Switzerland with Professor Zakhar Bron.  

Andrej plays the 1708 Regent Stradivarius violin on generous loan from Tarisio.
