Janne Mark
Danish Innovator of Church Hymns in the Spirit of Jazz
Janne Mark composes church music, but not in the often stuffy, strictly traditional way. Instead, her approach is rooted in the here and now, right in the heart of society, drawing upon the freedom of jazz and the vastness of the Scandinavian folk music tradition.
As a result, her songs have found a place beyond the confines of the sacred and into secular spaces.
Since 2000, Janne Mark has been singing at Brorsonskirche in the heart of Copenhagen. Through her music, she has revitalized the Danish church hymn tradition like no one else in her generation.
Janne Mark is a captivating artist who has successfully forged a path between church hymns, folk music, songs, and jazz.
