Torben Westergaard

Born: October 9, 1960

MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATOR

I have published 17 albums of my compositions, two of which were DMA-jazz-nominated in 2013 and 2014. Music has taken me to more than 20 countries, and I have composed for various ensembles, TV series, documentaries, and commercials

While Torben Westergaard has had a grand time bouncing from one surprising idea to another to another in previous years--crossing oceans with his Tangofied series, crossing continents with the Euro-Korean Gori Project (self produced, 2020), plus a few more niche-focused detours in between--it turns out it is just as pleasant to hear him settled on comfortably ...
