Alissa Rossius Dausgaard

Alissa Rossius Dausgaard, flutist and composer, is one of the most interesting artists of her generation. She has performed frequently as a soloist, with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, the Dresdner Kapellsolisten, the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano and Trento, the Georgian Chamber Orchestra, the Prague Chamber Orchestra, the Southwest German Chamber Orchestra, and the Budapest Strings.

Born in Munich, Alissa Rossius Dausgaard began playing the flute at the age of four and went on to balance an unusually broad musical education with performances, recordings, and competitions from a young age. At ten she was accepted to study at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich; her teachers included Marianne Henkel-Adorján, Philippe Boucly, Andrea Lieberknecht, and Wolfram Graul, and she soon became a featured artist with the Bavarian Radio as a soloist with orchestra, in chamber music, and with piano, including recordings as soloist with the Bamberg Symphony.

Alissa Rossius Dausgaard subsequently took up the position of Principal Flutist of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and has performed as Guest Principal Flutist with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, and the Bavarian State Opera. She has been a scholarship holder of the Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund and is an alumna of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation.

One of her further interests is finding connections between the arts through her blog.
