Moses Swedberg, Piano

Pianist and educator Moses Swedberg is recognized for his expressive artistry, technical brilliance, and deeply human approach to music-making. Originally from Plains, Montana, he began playing piano at an early age and made his public debut at thirteen, performing works by Debussy, Schubert, Chopin, and Poulenc.

Mr. Swedberg serves as a contracted accompanist for Pikes Peak State College, the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and the Colorado Springs Youth Choir, and is a piano instructor at Colorado College. Equally at home in classical music, show tunes, and spirituals, he views music as a vital means of empathy, communication, and emotional connection.
