Live Jazz at Søhesten: Viktoria Søndergaard Quartet

Vibraphonist, composer, and performer Viktoria Søndergaard is one of the most original and inquisitive voices on the Danish jazz and improv scene. Through her distinctive instrumental choice, she has transformed the vibraphone from its traditional role into a vibrant, playful, and expressive medium. Her music stands out for its raw energy, melodic refinement, and an almost theatrical approach to the concert format, where vocal elements, movement, and strong stage presence form natural parts of the expression.

Søndergaard's works navigate fluidly between intensity and fragility — from explosive rhythmic passages to quiet, almost melancholic moments. As an artist, she is charismatic and outgoing, and her performances are marked by infectious energy and a constant desire to explore the sonic possibilities of the vibraphone.
