  "[Miah] Persson has thought deeply about what the music and words meant to her and how to express that as clearly as possible to the listener" (New York Classical Review). This Swedish soprano rewards audiences with an intelligent and personable approach to everything she sings, with each song, phrase, and note supported by her background in stage and recital work. She is joined by compatriot Magnus Svensson, who is a highly regarded accompanist and choice partner of many leading singers. "His enjoyment and interpretation of the music was very palpable and helped to bring together a very successful concert" (Bachtrack).

Since her operatic debut as Susanna Le nozze di Figaro in 1998, Swedish soprano Miah Persson has distinguished herself as one of the world's principal Mozart interpreters, leaving a lasting legacy on those lyric soprano roles for which she has become most celebrated.

Pianist Magnus Svensson is acknowledged as one of the leading Scandinavian accompanists, collaborating with singers worldwide including Pretty Yende, Dorothea Roschmann, Ian Bostridge, Nina Stemme, Christophe Pregardien, Malin Bystrom, Benjamin Appl, Miah Persson, Irene Theorin, Katarina Karneus, Anna Larsson, Ailish Tynan, Ann Hallenberg, John Lundgren, Matthew Rose, Elin Rombo, Camilla Tilling, Daniel Johansson, Kristina Hammarstrom, Cornelia Beskow, as well as rising stars such as Christina Nilsson and Johanna Wallroth. Renowned for his versatility and extensive repertoire knowledge, he is a regular solo guest, chamber musician and accompanist at leading music venues and festivals across Scandinavia, Europe, and the United States.
