Dreamers' Circus Fast Facts

  • Dreamers' Circus violinist Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen appears twice on the Series this season: he's also a founding member of the Danish String Quartet. The Quartet has extensively arranged and performed traditional Nordic folk songs and often perform with Dreamers' Circus members Ale Carr and Nikolaj Busk.
  • Animation auteur Hayao Miyazaki is reportedly a fan: he invited the trio to perform in his personal studio and you can hear "Waltz for Miyazaki" on their album Blue White Gold.
  • Celebrity Series Staff Kids' Pick! A daytime concert with engaging performers who love to share Nordic folk music with newcomers? It all adds up to the perfect family-friendly afternoon of music.

Nordic roots trio Dreamers’ Circus blends echoes of the past with the vital pulse of the present, creating magic in their evocative, vibrant arrangements and original compositions.

With their new album and tour, Handed On, the trio captures the raw energy and deep connection at the heart of Nordic folk music. Originally conceived as a project to compose new tunes that welcome musicians at all levels into the Nordic folk tradition, Handed On aims to spark an interest that keeps this beloved music alive and continuously evolving.

Experience the boundless beauty and joy of Nordic folk music, reimagined and shared by Dreamers’ Circus.

“Dreamers’ Circus celebrate more than the colour and vibrancy of Scandinavian music, they celebrate the ability it has to drive inspiration and innovation, and place themselves firmly in the vanguard of that movement.”
