He gets a Steinway grand piano for eight years

Pianist David Stener receives this year’s Jan Wallander prize – for eight years he will now have access to a Steinway grand piano. David Stener was born in 1998 and is a student at the Royal Academy of Music, where he is doing his degree project on the harmonic language of Broadway musicals. This spring he will take a bachelor’s degree in jazz.

The jury for the Wallander Prize thinks he has “a natural and mature playing, as well as a wonderful sense of harmony and an outstanding flow of improvisation”.

The prize was awarded for the first time in 2010 with the idea that the recipient will be able to use an instrument of exceptionally high class at the beginning of their career. The award is named after Handelsbanken’s former CEO and chairman of the board Jan Wallander.
