Winnie Dahlgren, a native of Denmark, started playing percussion at age fifteen, starting her journey studying classical music at the Vestjysk Academy of Music in Esbjerg, Denmark. The musical journey lead her to Berklee College of Music in Boston and after graduating she settled down in Boston. 

She is currently on the faculty at Berklee College of Music in addition to performing in both classical and jazz settings with concerts in the United States, Europe and Africa. Performance credentials include: George Garzone, Matthew Garrison, Joe Lovano, Terri Lyne Carrington, Esperanza Spalding, Lionel Loueke, Francisco Mela, Steve Lacy, Christian McBride, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, and Greg Hopkins.

Ms. Dahlgren provides the listener with a unique musical experience with delicate twists.  Her classical background showcases her musical technique as a performer, but her use and knowledge of Latin, World music and Jazz styles give her performances a modern quality. Being the front figure of her band as a vibraphonist presents a unique instrumental sound.

"As a teacher it is always a thrill to see one of your students grow into a full-fledged artist with a musical life of their own and their own perspective to share with the world.  I first met Winnie Dahlgren when she came to Berklee from Denmark as a student over a decade ago. I was immediately impressed with her talent and her willingness to dedicate herself to everything she takes on.  These days, Winnie is a successful teacher herself, carries on her musical outreach project in Africa, and has produced a CD featuring all her own compositions.  There's very enjoyable listening here from very enthusiastic players. She is a welcome addition to the jazz world and Winnie Dahlgren is a name you're going to be hearing more of."    -  Gary Burton

"Good music, great sound. Winnie always takes care of business when it comes to playing her music". 
- George Garzone



"Surrounded by great musicians on her debut album Till We Meet Again, Danish vibist Winnie Dahlgren successfully created a macrocosm of rich musical diversity. This makes for a musically delightful album."
- Phil Wilson
