“This is music that paints images in your mind, that fires the imagination…”
—Folk Radio
Fifteen years after first meeting at a jam session in Copenhagen, Dreamers’ Circus have emerged as the pre-eminent international band in Nordic folk and traditional music. This talented trio crafts a sound defined by their virtuosic musical abilities across a diverse range of instruments that include fiddle, accordion, piano and cittern. Drawing from their backgrounds in traditional and roots music, Dreamers’ Circus presents a genre-bending blend of folk sensitivity, jazz improvisation and classical complexity, all infused with influences from popular music. Piano and accordion player Nikolaj Busk, rooted in folk music, is highly sought after for his performance and arranging skills in the pop music and jazz realms. Violinist Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, while reared in a folk-music loving family, emerged as a prodigious classical player who by his early twenties was leader of the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra. Swedish-born Ale Carr, who is also from a folk music lineage, provides rhythmic drive on cittern underpinning the band’s overall sound.
