Johannes Möller
The Swedish guitarist and composer Johannes Möller has captivated audiences throughout the world with charismatic and soulful performances. In 2010 he was awarded first prize in the GFA Concert Artist Competition, considered by many to be the most prestigious guitar competition in the world.
As a performer, Johannes’ artistry has reached well beyond the usual guitar circles.
