Duo Lorenzen-Ekberg started their collaboration in 2022 and have since performed on a large number of stages in Sweden, from Luleå in the north to Kalmar in the south, from Gothenburg in the west to Mariehamn in the east. The duo's personal expression and innovative program choices have consistently received great appreciation. In 2024, the duo appeared with profilic concerts within prestigious festivals such as Båstad Chamber Music Festival and the international Baltic Sea Festival in Stockholm, claiming recognition for their innovative program choices as well as their musical qualities. Their collaboration as a combined duo was also noticed and praised during the Mirjam Helin International Song Competition, where Kathrin was eventually awarded 2nd prize as well as the audience prize. As a duo they have been coached in song interpretation by i.e. Jorma Hynninen, Camilla Tilling, Bo Rosenkull and Kristian Attila. In 2024 Duo Lorenzen-Ekberg was awarded The Swedish Royal Academy of Music's Dorothy Irving large scholarship for lied duos, which is awarded once every two years. In their motivation the jury praised the duo’s “captivatingly light, interwoven and humorous, yet deep, portrayal of human dimensions” as well as their “exposure of the existential abyss in Scandinavian lied”. In connection with the Doroth Irving prize they made an acclaimed debut in the Grünewald Hall at the Stockholm Concert Hall, described as “hysterical and historical”. Upcoming performances in 2025-26 include a duo tour in of Musik i Syd, several lied concerts in Sweden, Finland and Germany, a CD-recording with music by Johanna Müller-Hermann, collaboration with filmmaker David Tarrodi in a project regarding Olivier Messiaen’s “Poèmes pour Mi” and a commission of a new song cycle, written especially for the duo, by German composer Moritz Eggert. Duo Lorenzen-Ekberg wants to honor the power of chamber music in their work and strives to push the boundaries of the art of lied, thus having as their motto to affect, arouse and agitate.
