Sophie Dunér is a highly versatile singer, composer & improviser from Sweden. With her roots in jazz, she is influenced by avant garde and contemporary classical writing. Blending the romantic and the spiritually elevated with a dissonant, bold and satirical edge, she plays with tense colours resolving into romantic harmony. She likes contrast and dynamics. Sophie draws heavily on a variety of composers such as Kurt Weill, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Hans Werner Henze, Dizzy Gillespie & Igor Stravinsky.
