Dreamers' Circus

Tickets TBA Over the last number of years Dreamers’ Circus have emerged as a driving force in new Nordic music. Contemporary and endlessly innovative in their approach, they draw inspiration from the deep traditions of folk music in the region and reshape them into something bright, shiny and new. Dreamersʼ Circus are: Nikolaj Busk (DK) on piano and accordion, Ale Carr (SWE) on Nordic cittern and Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen (DK), who also is a member of the Danish String Quartet, on violin. Inventiveness and heartfelt music underline their approach to performances and their concerts feature music from Denmark and other Nordic countries even stretching to the far reaches of the windswept Faroe Islands. The ensemble has won numerous prestigious Danish Music Awards and toured throughout Europe and beyond, with performances in Japan and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Recent tours in the US have opened ears, eyes, minds, and hearts. The trio collaborates regularly with the Danish String Quartet and the Copenhagen Philharmonic. The band were recognised in 2021 as a ‘Special Ensemble’ by the Danish Arts Foundation - the first folk and roots musicians to be honoured in this way. Dreamers’ Circus views their traditional roots as a point of departure and know tradition should never be a straitjacket. This adventurous attitude, coupled with their outstanding musicianship, has brought the band to the forefront of the Nordic folk and world music scene. www.dreamerscircus.com
