Bo Linde was born in Gävle, Linde studied music theory with Eric Harald Bengtson before enrolling at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in 1948, where he studied composition with Lars-Erik Larsson and piano with Olof Wibergh.

Works
His most performed pieces are his violin concerto, and his Preludio E finale for string orchestra of 1955. His piano concertos display a raucous humour, also found in his children's opera for radio Slotts-skoj (1959). Linde died of unclear health issues in Gävle Hospital at the age of 37.
