Tempi
Tempi promotes folk, roots, and related genres in Denmark, while also presenting Danish folk and world music internationally. Their partnership strengthens our place in the broader musical landscape.
Roskilde Kommune
Denmark’s largest arts foundation, working to spread the arts to a wide audience, promote Danish art internationally, and pave the way for talented artists. Their support helps us develop as a Special Ensemble and expand our work both at home and abroad.
COMMUNITY
Danish arts foundation
Our community is at the heart of Dreamers’ Circus. We are fortunate to be surrounded by partners, supporters, and advisors who make it possible for us to explore new paths in Nordic music and bring our vision to life.
Partners & Supporters
We are grateful to collaborate with organizations that share our commitment to growing Nordic music and reaching new audiences:
Roskilde has a rich musical and cultural heritage. Through the Alle Tiders Musikby initiative, they strengthen and support music activity and engagement as a core part of the region’s identity.
We are proud of our long-standing collaboration with Roskilde Kommune as Stadsmusikanter, a role that reflects our close relationship with the city and its cultural life.
Genklang
Genklang is a cultural and tourism program in Northern Denmark that highlights the potential of local and Nordic music traditions as a force for culture, tourism, and well-being. The initiative is a partnership between Region Nordjylland, Tempi, and Kulturskolen Vesthimmerland.
We collaborate closely with Genklang through the Nordic Folk Festival, sharing in their vision for strengthening Nordic music.
