Vilhelm Moqvist - Pianist

About

Vilhelm Moqvist

Vilhelm Moqvist, Swedish pianist born in 2003, student under Professor Konstantin Scherbakov at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste in Switzerland since the autumn of 2022. His former main piano teachers were Roland Pöntinen and Kerstin Jansson. Additionally, Vilhelm has participated in masterclasses with Mats Widlund, Per Tengstrand, Peter Jablonski, Hans Pålsson, Peter Friis Johansson, and others.


As a two-time winner in his age group at the Steinway Piano Festival in Stockholm Concert Hall, Vilhelm represented Sweden at the International Steinway Festival in Laeiszhalle, Hamburg, in 2018. That same year, he made his debut as a soloist performing Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Jönköping Sinfonietta. In 2021, Vilhelm was named the winner of Polstjärnepriset (Sweden’s largest competition for young classical musicians between the ages of 14-18) when he performed the third movement of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 in the final.


Vilhelm has received several scholarships from organizations such as Skövde Frimurarorden, Götiska förbundet, the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, and the Norwegian Kavli Foundation (in connection with his selection for De Unges Konsert in Bergen in 2020).


In 2023, Vilhelm was awarded the Anders Wall Giresta Scholarship. The motivation by Peter Friis Johansson, Head of Music of the Giresta Church Music Foundation, reads: "Vilhelm is an extraordinary talent. He has performed far beyond the level that can be expected from a pianist of his age and I also see a willingness to continue to work hard and purposefully."


In 2024, Vilhelm was awarded the JAA scholarship in piano at college level by the John Andersson Family*s in Anderslöv Foundation in collaboration with the Malmö Academy of Music.


Over the years, Vilhelm has performed on numerous stages, including Stockholm City Hall in the presence of the Swedish Royal Couple, Stockholm and Gothenburg Concert Halls, Kulturhuset Spira in Jönköping, Laeiszhalle (Hamburg), Tonhalle (Zurich), as well as several other venues and in various contexts. Vilhelm has also participated in several different ensemble configurations.
