The world of Circus Dinogad

Welcome to the bewitching world of Circus Dinogad in which Welsh contralto Hilary Summers, the Dutch theorbo & bass clarinet duo Mike Fentross & Maarten Ornstein and the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam converge in a fusion of musical traditions. Formed in Amsterdam in 2022, this new ensemble’s journey takes you through ancient melodies, re-imagined classics, and innovative original compositions that playfully plunge into the bottomless sea of human emotions. The first steps of this new group explored more or less familiar areas, namely the boundaries between baroque, renaissance, traditional and improvised music. The culmination of the album comes in the shape of the Seven Deadly Sins: seven completely new compositions, written by the individual musicians woven seamlessly into the fabric of the album. With this innovative addition, the ensemble’s essence evolved, shedding traditional stylistic confines and boldly embarking on audacious musical escapades. The album will release in the autumn of 2023 via Zefir Records. Album release concert in Amsterdam on November 29th, get tickets here!
