Dreamers ’ Circus

with Selene Muñoz

Dreamers ’ Circus is folk music of 2016 – enthusiasm and innovation founded on tradition .
These three young musicians have set out on a dream journey in the world of folk music . A journey that includes detours to visit Sibelius , Vivaldi , Mozart , Grieg and Nielsen – and fortunately a visit to the Bergen International Festival .
On their way here the reputation of their energetic live performances has reached far and wide . Their concerts are attended not only by traditional folk enthusiasts but also by young indie and rock fans , who have had a new musical door opened for them .
‘ Folk music is so strong that it can be used for anything , and it is in its element when challenged and developed ,’ say the members of Dreamers ’ Circus .
The group met in a pub during a folk festival in 2009 . Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen ( violin ) was jamming with Ale Carr ( cittern ). Nikolaj Busk happened in and joined in on the piano . This was Dreamers ’ Circus first performance .
They are joined by award-winning dancer Selene Muños , who adds a fascinating visual aspect to the music .
