About

Ylva Q. Arkvik

”Ylva Q. Arkvik has a thorough musical background, yet still the path to composition was far from straight. She worked as a ballet accompanist, read musicology at Uppsala University, and after graduating as a cantor went on to study music teaching at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. It was here where she also studied composition at the Stockholm Academy of Music (Master of Fine Arts) with a diploma in 2000 (Postgraduate Diploma in Composition) and in 2015 she was awarded a PhD in composition at the University of Huddersfield.
