Guitarist and composer Agnes Persson is one of the young musicians who has revitalized the Swedish
jazz scene in recent years. She has been working with musicians such as Nils Berg, Elin Forkelid, and Isabella Lundgren, and has also written and arranged for Bohuslän Big Band. Since 2024 she is the touring guitarist of Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon).
Her debut album, In Collaboration With Flowers (Havtorn Records, 2021), received great attention on the Swedish jazz scene. The album's original compositions and unique expression were particularly praised by a united body of critics. The release led to a nomination in the Best New Artist-category at Manifestgalan 2022 and was also named Guitar Jazz Album of the Year by Lira Musikmagasin. In addition, Agnes has been awarded the prestigious Albin Hagström Scholarship for guitarists, as well as the STIMs Scholarship for music creators.

Her most current project involve her own trio, with which she's released her second album. The trio, in addition to Agnes herself, consists of double bassist Jakob Ulmestrand and drummer Ludwig Aronsson. Together, they twist and turn the conventions of interplay and scrutinize the possibilities of the guitar trio. The result is a distinctive sound with a very dynamic expression, where the compositions elevate the musicians' already strong characters.
