Erik Sandin was born in Mora in 1976. He graduated from the Falun Conservatory of Music and managed to get a place at the prestigous Hannover University of Music, Drama and Media under the guidance of Matthias Perl and Patrick Gallois. After Hannover he established a long apprentice relationship with the former professor in flute at Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Lennart Ehrenlood. He has described him as "a great flute talent with superb tone, fine technic and an exemplary musical performance." After some years of absence he is happy to once again give his love for flute playing the first priority.
