Dreamers' Circus
Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen Violin
Nikolaj Busk Accordion and Piano
Ale Carr Cittern
The three members of Dreamers’ Circus first encountered each other at a late night, post-concert jam session in Denmark some ten years ago. They immediately hit it off both on a musical and a personal level. Since then the band has toured all over the Nordic countries and Europe, they’ve played the Sydney Opera House in Australia and have made a number of tours in Japan.
Dreamers’ Circus has shared stages with folk luminaries such as The Chieftains, Sharon Shannon and Vasenand have been invited to compose and perform music for stage and television shows in Denmark. A Danish critic observed that, “playing violin, piano, accordion and cittern they display a playful inventiveness allied with a Nordic sensibility that is at once refined and cool.”
”They are world class. Now the world needs to hear them.” - SingOut!
”Dreamers’ Circus does for Nordic folk music, what Astor Piazolla and the tango nuevo did for Argentinian folk music.” – Politiken (Denmark)
”The essence of their music is a clarity - and often simplicity - of ideas that they develop with virtuosity, deep feeling, marvelous strength of character, and a fantastic collective ear for arrangement and texture.” The Herald
