Thank you for that!<\/p>\n<p>On a lovely late summer night \u2013 or perhaps more accurately, a lovely early summer morning \u2013 in early August, we recorded the internationally renowned trio, Dreamers&#039; Circus, while they were playing at a ball at the folk music festival Musik over Pr\u00e6st\u00f8 Fjord.<\/p>\n<p>Ballet takes place in the festival&#039;s new big tent, which bears the name <em>The dance top<\/em>. Here they have established a really good wooden dance floor. Along the sides and at the end of the room, people can sit up on the &#039;audience podiums&#039; and enjoy the music and follow along, if they are not participating in the dance themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Music over Pr\u00e6st\u00f8 Fjord is a Nordic folk music festival that traditionally takes place in <em>Anne Gretes Chamomile<\/em> and <em>Soren Korsh\u00f8j&#039;s<\/em> large and lush backyard in <em>North Smidstrup<\/em>, right by <em>Brave eye<\/em>, not far from <em>Presto<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>At the festival you will find, among other things, instrument workshops, ballad singing, folk dancing, listening concerts, bonfire hut, communal dining, clown troupes, Viking stalls, circus, coal-burning pancakes, bush games, dancing trees, kissing benches, and much, much more.<\/p>\n<p>Dreamers&#039; Circus is one of our most traveled bands in recent years. They tour year-round and play concerts at festivals and concert stages in large parts of the world, not least in <em>Japan<\/em>, <em>United Kingdom<\/em> and <em>United States<\/em>. But at the same time, everyone in the trio has a special relationship with the family festival Music over Pr\u00e6st\u00f8 Fjord.<\/p>\n<p>The trio consists of violinist <em>Rune Tonsgaard Sorensen<\/em>, who grew up in <em>Roskilde<\/em> folk music environment, he is also known for his work with classical music in <em>The Danish String Quartet<\/em>. Then there is the pianist and accordion player <em>Nikolaj Busk<\/em>, and finally we have the Danish-Swedish violinist and not least cittern player, <em>Ale Carr<\/em>, who comes from a family of Danish and Swedish musicians. All three musicians contribute to the trio&#039;s repertoire with melodies that they compose themselves, and they also compose together, while also going on adventures in the Nordic folk music tradition.<\/p>\n<p>In the fall of 2025, a few months after the band played at Musik over Pr\u00e6st\u00f8 Fjord, I meet Ale Carr, late one afternoon, in the middle of rush hour at <em>Copenhagen Central Station<\/em>. Here we sit down and have a cup of coffee while he talks about Dreamers&#039; Circus&#039; close relationship with, among other things,. <em>Fan\u00f8<\/em>, about the joy of playing at dances in Denmark when you otherwise mostly play concerts around the world, and about the love for the festival Musik over Pr\u00e6st\u00f8 Fjord.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"cfm-player-iframe\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 20px; border-radius: 6px; overflow:hidden;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 200px;\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/player.captivate.fm\/episode\/0831fbe0-fe1e-45bc-bbb4-e885dbd0bae8\"><\/iframe><\/div><p>Welcome to a podcast about the award-winning Danish-Swedish trio, Dreamers&#039; Circus.
