Born on the Danish Island of Bornholm, Bjarke Mogensen quickly made a name for himself as an internationally acclaimed accordion virtuoso and as a versatile musician with a keen ear for different styles. At an early age he made his debut in a German TV broadcast with millions of viewers. Since then an unusual curiosity and search for new sounds and expressions has taken him on musical paths where few other musicians have ventured before as a highly sought-after soloist in the classical music world.
Bjarke Mogensen’s repertoire is almost unlimited, with a span ranging from folk music, his own arrangements and transcriptions as well as brand new works for the accordion. A long succession of collaborations with prominent living composers has resulted in over 60 new compositions - concertos, chamber music and solo works - dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen.
