Career
Hjorth is active in Copenhagen, where he in 2009 completed his musical education at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory. He has studied under guidance of Thomas Clausen, Jacob Christoffersen, Nikolaj Hess, Jørgen Emborg och Maggi Olin, among others.
As child Hjorth played the trombone and violin, but changed to the piano at twelve. He has participated on several albums, including with his own trio Magnus Hjorth Trio which also consists of the Dane Lasse Mørck (bass) and Norwegian Snorre Kirk (drums). The trio album Loco Motif (2007) was reviewed at the jazz magazine Orkesterjournalen's site, where the writer Per Wiken completed reviews of this characterization: "Music with nerve of the three attuned musicians, who exudes power and confidence and which, as we have seen, imposes certain requirements on the opponent listener. To dull jamming is no good here."
Hjorth has also collaborated with the Danish singer Malene Mortensen Group and is present on two of her albums.
