He also has a diploma (M.A.) in clarinet playing from The Royal Danish Academy of Music (1991) and a master’s degree in musicology and rhetoric from The University of Copenhagen (1994.)
Larsen has published both books and compositions and has recorded CDs with a wide range of Danish orchestras.
Larsen regularly performs as a chamber musician himself on both piano and clarinet and is in addition also a sought-after inspirational speaker in the business community on subjects such as Musical Communication and Body Language.
