Late one night in 2009 Nikolaj Busk pushed open the door of a bar in Copenhagen and chanced upon fiddle player Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen and cittern player, Ale Carr, playing some traditional tunes. Spotting a piano in the corner of the room Nikolaj joined the pair. Within minutes it was clear that there was an instant musical chemistry happening. Since that first meeting Dreamers’ Circus has toured widely, performing not just in their native Scandinavia but also throughout Europe and in Japan, Australia and North America.
The members of the trio have various musical backgrounds but what unites them is an interest in and love for folk and traditional music. Rune grew up in a household where traditional dance and music was enjoyed but he also studied classical music and to this day plays as a member of world-class chamber music ensemble, The Danish String Quartet. Nikolaj Busk’s background in jazz is evident in his fluid and melodic playing while Ale Carr is from a family of well-known traditional musicians and teachers in his native southern Sweden and his rhythmic drive forms the backbone of the band.
The music of Dreamers’ Circus defies instant classification. It’s a music that transcends genres and seeks to unlock imaginations and create small and big stories that form images in our mind. It allows us all to dream and takes us to wondrous places each time we listen.
