Born in Norway, she began her musical journey busking in Barcelona before co-founding a label and releasing her debut album in 2003. Independent from the start, Brun has built a career defined by her fearlessness and creative evolution, moving from acoustic folk to dynamic, genre-blending sounds. Her 2011 album, It All Starts with One, marked a shift to rhythm-driven music, while When I’m Free (2015) and After the Great Storm (2020) incorporated electronic and orchestral influences. Albums such as How Beauty Holds the Hand of Sorrow (2020) and her covers collection Leave Me Breathless (2017) showcase her unfiltered authenticity, with her haunting voice at the heart of every song. Brun’s collaborations are diverse, from ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Peter Gabriel to dance music stars such as Oliver Heldens and Andrew Bayer. She has also worked with orchestras and contemporary dance companies, including a 2023 sold-out production with the GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. With two Swedish Grammys, a growing global fanbase and a new album on the horizon for 2025, Brun’s ambitious spirit shows no signs of abating. Her journey continues, full of endless possibility. Jeremy Dutcher is a classically trained Canadian Indigenous tenor, composer, musicologist, performer, activist and member of Neqotkuk (Tobique First Nation) in Eastern Canada. Dedicated to language revitalization, Dutcher’s debut album, Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, unearthed century-old archival recordings of his ancestors, turning them into collaborative compositions on the piano. Sung entirely in Wolastoqey, his endangered mother tongue, it would go on to win the 2018 Polaris Music Prize and lead to collaborations with such iconic artists as Yo-Yo Ma and Leslie Feist. His sophomore album, Motewolonuwok ᒣᑌᐧᐁᓓᓄᐧᐁᒃ , was awarded the 2024 Polaris Music Prize, making Dutcher the first two-time winner. His music transcends boundaries: unapologetically playful in its incorporation of classical and jazz influences, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home, and teeming with the urgency of modern-day resistance.Danielle de Niese is not just “Opera’s Coolest Soprano”, as dubbed by The New York Times Magazine, she’s a boundary- pushing performer blending classical stagecraft, musical theatre and TV stardom. A magnetic presence on the world’s biggest stages, from the Metropolitan Opera to Covent Garden, de Niese’s versatility has set her apart: she made her Broadway debut at 18, won an Emmy at 16 and has performed with artists that include LL Cool J and Mika. Born in Australia to Sri Lankan and Dutch parents and raised in Los Angeles, de Niese’s “gleaming soprano” and “phenomenal musicality” have earned her accolades, including New Artist of the Year at the ECHO Awards and a Classical Brit nomination. In 2024, she played Hanna Glawari in The Merry Widow at Glyndebourne, receiving rave reviews. De Niese is also a passionate advocate for music education and children’s causes. As an Ambassador for HRH King Charles’s Foundation for Children in the Arts and a patron of Future Talent, she is dedicated to helping young artists thrive. As a longstanding Artist Member of the Mannes Board of Governors and Ambassador for the International Rescue Committee, she continues to inspire and empower future generations of performers.
