Biography

From the Ondine artist archive. Appointments and season references reflect the original biography.

    Sunnarborg's repertoire extends from the dulcian solo music of the 16th century to early 20th-century orchestral music. He has a collection of bassoons, both modern copies and original instruments hundreds of years old. He aims to find an instrument suited to the music at hand in terms of sound, period and geographical origin.
