Event Description
Daniel Herskedal Daniel Herskedal is the enigmatic master of sound and sonorous beauty. His music ebbs and flows with utter grace and poise, perfectly fusing the spirit of jazz with the compositional craft of classical music.
Seldom do you hear a musician with such depth, emotive intensity and virtuosity shine who is simultaneously pushing the boundaries of his instrument to the limit. Possessed with real melodic resonance, Daniel Herskedal is a hugely gifted and dynamic composer. His music breathes and is full of life. While his last 3 albums have earned him huge praise and adoring fans, this new music expands on the direction and takes influence from ‘Mistral Noir', the opening track from his album ‘Slow Eastbound Train', performed entirely solo, layering both tuba and bass trumpet in a both a mesmerising and sublimely beautiful way.
He is is a composer of highly original, beautifully lyrical, rhythmically charged music inspired by the stunning Norwegian landscape and a world-class performer on Tuba, an instrument he has made uniquely his own. Daniel Herskedal’s newest album Harbour cements his position as one the most exciting, prolific and inspiring musicians of his generation in Europe.
