Horncraft
Horncraft delivers jazz with the French horns in front, unique compositions, and some of Sweden’s most exciting soloists.
With his extensive experience in the Swedish jazz scene and collaborations with outstanding musicians and composers, Håkan Nyqvist leads his jazz group Horncraft – a band where the French horns takes its place as a natural and distinctive voice.
Here, some of Sweden’s most expressive and intriguing soloists meet in an ensemble that moves freely between richly textured compositions and sensitive improvisation.
In this concert, Horncraft will perform entirely new music, as well as selections from the critically acclaimed album Inside Looking Out. With its unique sound, strong interplay, and spirit of curiosity, the group offers a musical journey where the familiar takes on new colors – and the unexpected is given space to shine.
”Absolutely brilliant – ’Inside Looking Out’ deserves the attention of even the most selective music lovers beyond the well-trodden jazz path.”
– Mats Hallberg, Kulturbloggen ★★★★★
”Varied, imaginative, and masterfully performed.”
