Greta Åstedt is an alumna of the Royal Academy of Music in London as well as the École Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot. Among her professors have been Erik Tawaststjerna, Carole Presland, Lidia Spirijagina and Jean-Bernard Pommier.

One of Greta’s passions is to discover and bring forth hidden gems in the classical music repertoire. She is also a keen collaborator with contemporary composers and has recorded various new works including Bagatell by Pelle Olofson, the soundtrack I Picture You Before Me by Guy Jackson for the video game Sea of Solitude and four pieces for the album Twenty – Music for Piano, which is the result of a collaboration between composers and pianists during the covid-19 lockdown, all of which earnings have been donated to the World Health Organization to support their fight against the pandemic.

Alongside her solo playing, Greta is an avid chamber music player and regularly performs with other instrumentalists and singers. She has performed as a soloist with orchestras Filialen and Södra Latins Symfoniorkester, then collaborating with conductors Rei Munakata and Jan Risberg respectively. Greta has had the pleasure of performing in venues such as the Wigmore Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Berwaldhallen and Konserthuset in Stockholm. Since 2012 she is also a returning performer for various events at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.
