Pollux wind quintet was formed in 1997 in Helsingborg, Sweden, by leading musicians from the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra: Johan Skeppstedt Andersson, flute; Carl Andersson, oboe; Per Johansson, clarinet; Åshilld Henriksen, French horn; and Magnus Nilsson, bassoon. Ever since its formation, the group has undertaken an active performance schedule, both in Sweden and abroad. Many composers have been inspired to write works directly for POLLUX, including Wolfgang Plagge, Lennart Fredriksson and Reine Jönsson. In the autumn of 2000, the ensemble members were invited to the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England, as specialist chamber music instructors.
