Dreamers’ Circus has emerged as a youthful, driving force in Nordic world music. Pairing adventurous attitude with outstanding musicianship, the trio of Nikolaj Busk (piano and accordion), Ale Carr (Nordic cittern) and Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen (violin) has brought the band to the forefront of the world music scene by inventively reinterpreting the deep traditions of folk music from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and the far reaches of the windswept Faroe Islands into something entirely their own.

Experience the magic of The Pretenders with Pretending Chrissie, a dynamic tribute band led by Rose Gill, whose striking vocals and stage presence embody Chrissie Hynde. Joining the evening as a special guest is The Tambourine Man, a heartfelt tribute to Bob Dylan.

Join us for an immersive performance by Mohammad Khodadadi, an acclaimed Persian composer and performer on the ney, an ancient end-blown cane flute that plays a central role in Persian mysticism. The sound of the ney is said to express the human soul’s longing for union with God, drawing listeners into an introspective, contemplative state. Born in Iran, and trained by masters of Persian music, Mohammad weaves the haunting sounds of the ney with the dynamic energy of Iranian bagpipes, blending traditional Persian melodies with his own innovative compositions.
