Description
"Haugaard is the master of sublime moments" - British music magazine "Sing out" In the past 20 years Harald Haugaard has established himself as one of Denmark's most acknowledged musicians. In his virtuoso fiddle playing he combines the playful ease with a rich and melancholy sound. His compositions are contemporary, original and in his overall artistic work deeply rooted in the rich Danish musical tradition. In the creation of music and performing Haugaard is an artist who is inquisitive and continuously searches for something new. He is undoubtedly rooted in traditional Danish music but brings with him a contemporary flair. The prestigious British music magazine fRoots has hailed him as one of the world's best folk fiddlers and the venerable classic string magazine The Strad regards Haugaard as a "charismatic virtuoso" in their rew of his concert at London's King's Place in April 2009 saying: "Wonderfully clean playing and dynamic delivery" Harald Haugaard grew up on North Funen in the central part of Denmark in a family where singing, traditional dance and music were the centre of life. His grandfather John Kristensen - a Jutland wood carver and traditional accordion player - was Haugaard's earliest musical inspiration. Traditonal Danish dance music became one of Haugaard's biggest musical influences and still today features prominently in his performances. In 1998 Harald Haugaard completed music studies at the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music, Odense where he studied violin and choir/ensemble conducting. During his studies he switched from classical violin tutors to traditional folk fiddlers which included fiddler, Hans Jørgen Christensen, who could be described as Haugaard's maestro and Fanø fiddler er Uhrbrand. Haugaard became the first educated folk fiddler from the academy. This unique education was later the platform for his bachelor/master education in traditional and contemporary Danish folk music which the Carl Nielsen Academy now offers.
