Ale Carr

Ale Carr performs on stages all over the world as diverse as Sydney Opera House, Roskilde Festival, Washington Performing Arts and Hayao Miyazaki’s personal atelier in Japan. He has been awarded 10 Danish Music Awards, including Artist of the Year and Composer of the Year.

Together with Nikolaj Busk and Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen he founded the band Dreamers’ Circus in 2009, as well as joining the Danish band Basco in 2010. Other collaborations includes duos with Esko Järvelä and Bjarke Falgren, and through his various projects he has performed his music with symphony orchestras, big bands, choirs and chamber ensembles like the Danish String Quartet.

In his early teenage years, Ale determined to challenge and seek to develop the traditional music that he loved. This led him to composing and to broaden his musical spectrum, leading to many new exciting collaborations.

Hailing from the Skåne region in southern Sweden, Ale Carr was raised in a family of folk musicians, performing with the family band his whole life. This created a strong foundation for his musicianship in that music had always been about interaction and connection with friends and family as well as the exciting and meaningful link between the artist and the listener. Today, Ale is recognised as one of the leading players of plucked string instruments within the Nordic music tradition.
