Morten Kargaard Origin Septet

MORTEN KARGAARD SEPTET – A Classic Hybrid The orchestra offers a harmoniously rich and new approach, in the fusion of classical and rhythmic music, and makes the two immediately different musical genres unite in a new expression. An orchestra that defies all attempts to associate a specific genre with it - challenging what classical music is and what it can accomplish. A music-consciousness stream in changing structures, but with an inner calm and thoughtfulness. A fearless embrace of the new and unusual, as well as a deep understanding of the past. The compositions are influenced by the Scandinavian open landscape and beauty, where thoughts can fall on the paintings of P.S. Krøyer and the North Sea's strength and beauty. All musicians are known for their performances from several different orchestras and genres - Copenhagen Phil, The Royal Chapel, DR Symphony Orchestra - Each with a personal tone and open minded approach to new music. The breadth of the music and its wide appeal, is evident from the many different locations the orchestra has held concerts at - ranging from Classical Festivals at home and abroad, Music associations, as well as many churches.
