Elias Faingersh (born 1967 in Moscow, Soviet Union) is a Swedish trombonist, composer, actor, and director of Russian origin.[1]
Biography
[edit]Faingersh was born in Moscow, where he began his musical education at the Moscow Conservatory. He later continued his studies in Sweden and refined his craft at prestigious institutions in the United States, including the Juilliard School, the Manhattan School of Music, and Yale University.[1][2][3][4]
Throughout his career, he served as solo trombonist with ensembles such as the Malmö Opera and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in New York. Upon returning to Sweden, he embarked on a solo artistic path, developing a unique stage format that incorporates loop technology, live sampling, and narrative performance. Faingersh is best known for his one-man shows, in which he combines live music with personal storytelling and multimedia elements. His performances often explore themes of identity, fatherhood, artistic freedom, and modern life.[5][6][7]
Faingersh’s artistic style blends classical music, jazz, improvisation, and contemporary performance art. Using live-looping technology, he creates layered soundscapes, producing an orchestral experience from a single instrument—the trombone.[1][8]
His performances have been acclaimed at international festivals in Berlin, Copenhagen, Riga, and cities across the U.S. and Canada. In addition to his stage work, Faingersh has composed music for more than 30 theater productions as well as for film, television, and radio. His work has been recognized with awards at festivals in Saint Petersburg, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Hanover.[4]
