Dash Nesbitt

Dashiel Nesbitt, originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, resides in Stockholm, where he has been a member of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra  since 2017. Before moving to Sweden he was very active in the German orchestral world, working with the West German Radio Symphony  Orchestra, Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne, Staatskapelle Berlin, and Staatskapelle Dresden among others. As a chamber musician, Dash has performed concerts in the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and Great Britain. Dash earned a Bachelor of Music and Performance Diploma from Indiana University as a student of Atar Arad, and a Master of Music from Yale University where he studied with Ettore Causa.

Of all the places music has taken him, the vibrant, unique culture of New Orleans at the Birdfoot Festival remains one of his very favorites.
