SF Performances Presents: Dreamers' Circus

Presented by San Francisco Performances

A fresh, driving force in Nordic music, Dreamers’ Circus takes off from deep folk traditions with ancient and modern instruments and gives voice to a newly forged amalgamation of history and sound.

Inventiveness and heartfelt music underline their approach to performances and their concerts feature music from Denmark and Sweden, as well as Iceland, Finland and the far reaches of the windswept Faroe Islands. The ensemble has won numerous prestigious Danish Music Awards and toured throughout Europe and beyond, with performances in Japan and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Recent tours in the US have opened ears, eyes, minds, and hearts. The trio collaborates regularly with the Danish String Quartet and the Copenhagen Philharmonic. The band was honored to be recognized in 2021 as a “Special Ensemble” by the Danish Arts Foundation—the first folk and roots musicians to be so designated.

Dreamers’ Circus views their traditional roots as a point of departure and know tradition should never be a straitjacket. This adventurous attitude, coupled with their outstanding musicianship, has brought the band to the forefront of the Nordic folk and world music scene.

Their program will be announced from the stage.
