Swedish composer. After studying piano, organ, and harmony at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, he went to Berlin to study. In Berlin, he studied composition with Friedrich Kiel and organ with Carl August Haupt. Upon his return, he served as organist at the French Reformed Church in Stockholm. Later, he moved to St. Johannes Church.
His works primarily consist of lieder (songs), numbering approximately 200. During his tenure as organist, he traveled extensively to various cities including Berlin, Munich, Vienna, and Paris. This allowed him to engage with the works of composers from these regions. The texts for Sjögren's lieder were chosen from a wide range of languages.
