Dreamers’ Circus formed in 2009 as a result of a jam session at a folk festival in Copenhagen. Their first performance was during a concert with the Copenhagen Philharmonic, where the trio performed a folk music version of Mozart’s 5th violin concerto in A-major.
In 2010 Dreamers’ Circus released an EP with five tracks on the Danish label Go Folk. The EP was produced by the Swedish guitarist Roger Tallroth, of the folk band Väsen. Also featured on the EP is the Swedish folk singer Sofia Karlsson.
In 2013 Dreamers’ Circus released their first full album A Little Symphony on Go Folk. The album received the award Album of the Year at the Danish Music Awards Folk 2013, as well as Talent of the Year.
