André Chini moved to Sweden in 1975 together with the Swedish dancer and choreographer Ann-Cathrine Byström (who has choreographed his scenic works), where he has since been active as a conductor, musician, and composer. Together with the violinist Lars Fresk, he founded the chamber orchestra Euterpe in 1976, with which he conducted many premieres of Swedish works.

The key to Chini’s music can be found in his sensual, emotional, and engaged way of experiencing the world more than in any compositional techniques or aesthetic theories. He writes densely and complexly, sometimes grotesquely, sometimes lyrically, with a rough palette, microtonal harmonies, and associations to both Schönberg and Richard Strauss. His tonal world is built on practical experienceand experimentation, and presupposes dedicated and virtuoso musicians who are prepared to patiently explore the hidden characteristics of their instruments.
