Radiant Arcadia

A band consisting of women with different cultural and religious backgrounds. A band that wants to show, that even though we are different in many ways, we can still come together through music and find understanding and love. Radiant Arcadia consists of groovy bass clarinet, swinging accordion, power violinist with pedal board (a Jewish bundle of energy), a seductive Danish singer specializing in Bulgarian folk songs, but also add moments of French song and opera, a beautiful young Syrian harpist and singer who fled to Denmark in 2016, virtuous throat/harmonics singer from Spain, a Sufi singer from Manchester/Pakistan and a Kurd singer living in Austria. The band can both be booked all together or in smaller groups. We hope to please and inspire people and work for equality, reaching out to friendship across all borders and cohesive communities.
