Swedish Allan Pettersson Society

The Swedish Allan Pettersson Society (Allan Pettersson-sällskapet) is an independent non-profit association founded in November 2002. It works to broaden understanding of the music of Swedish composer Allan Pettersson by encouraging performances of his works both in Sweden and abroad, and by informing about and supporting research into his life and works. The society is open to anyone moved by Pettersson's music or wishing to learn more about his life and works. It maintains a website at allan-pettersson.se that provides information about the composer — biography, catalogue of works, discography, bibliography — as well as news about concerts, new sheet music and CD releases, and details of the society's activities and membership. The society has organised many events over the years, beginning with its first Allan Pettersson Day in 2003 in the Sofia parish hall. In 2017 it instituted the Allan Prize (Allanpriset), whose first recipient was The Allan Pettersson Project, a collaboration between the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, conductor Christian Lindberg and BIS Records. The society is led by a board; its chairs have been Lars-Åke Lundberg (2002–2008), Nils Larsson (2008–2016) and Gunnar Karlberg (from 2016).
