Andersson received his training as a conductor at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm, where he worked with Eric Ericson, Péter Eötvös, Brian Priestman, Sergiu Comissiona and Gennady Rozhdestvensky. Andersson conducted most of the major orchestras in Sweden in his twenties and thirties – and many elsewhere – before focussing resolutely on composition after the success of his breakthrough work, the percussion concerto Apollo, in 1995. Since 2003 he has been Professor of Orchestral Conducting at the Music Academy in Gothenburg. Andersson is a member of the Swedish Society of Composers.
2006 saw the première of Andersson's opera William, a fantasy on William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe commissioned by the Vadstena Academy; the libretto was written by Håkan Lindquist.
