Henning Ullén

Swedish composer, pianist and former trumpet player, born January 30, 1993. In 2016 he graduated from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, where he studied trumpet. He also maintains a master’s degree in composition from the same school in 2021, and has studied at Berklee College of Music and at the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSDMP). Due to an unexpected health issue, Ullén had to quit the trumpet in 2018. Since then he has switched focus, becoming a professional piano player. Although Ullén’s main field as a piano player is jazz and improvisational music, he is a versatile composer having written more traditional classical music as well. In October 2017 and 2018 Henning Ullén was nominated as the “newcomer of the year” by the Swedish Radio.
