Allan Gravgaard Madsen er dansk komponist med base i København. Blandt hans seneste værker er Träume nicht og Nachtmusik. Han forsøger at skabe en bedre version af sig selv i sin musik – hvor hans person har tendens til at være rastløs, plapre og have et aktivt indre liv, er hans musik kontrolleret, enkel og nådesløs i sit udtryk. Han er modtager af Carl Nielsen & Anne Marie Carl-Nielsens Hæderspris 2022.
»Music has been a healing balm for me.«
John William Grant is an American singer, musician, and songwriter holding both American and Icelandic citizenship. He first came to prominence as a co-founder, lead vocalist, pianist, and primary songwriter of the alternative rock band The Czars. After releasing six albums between 1994 and 2006, the band disbanded, and Grant withdrew from music for four years before embarking on a solo career.
He returned in April 2010 with a critically acclaimed debut album recorded in collaboration with Midlake. Queen of Denmark was named Album of the Year 2010 by Mojo magazine and was also selected as one of the ten best albums of 2010 by The Guardian’s music critics and writers.
