Meet musician and composer Andreas Borregaard in our podcast getting to know the people behind the music at Borealis 2021.
 
Andreas Borregaard is a Danish musician, who plays the classical accordion, an instrument that few people link to classical music. Besides being a performer, he is working on his phD, “Just Do It! – Exploring the Musician’s Use of Bodily Performance”, he is a composer and a teacher of the accordion, and is actively influencing the development of this young instrument’s use and repertoire. 

In this episode presenter Christiane Meldgaard speaks to Andreas Borregaard at his home in Copenhagen, Denmark, and hears his story of how he uses the classical accordion together with voice and body in his performances. Andreas will present digital versions of the commissioned works by Philip Venables and Marcela Lucatelli at Borealis 2021.

Omri Abram - Terrain for Accordion trio

Holograma is a piece for solo Accordion written at the request of Ghenadie Rotari, who premiered it at InnerSound New Arts Festival 2016.
The work is dedicated to the memory of Odette Leoveanu, whose light and delicate spirit is guiding us from above. 
The main goal of the music was to express the developing of the human  breath, from the birth to its dissolution  into the abyss.
