Janne Mark
Janne Mark writes church music, but not in that often dusty, strictly traditional way, but one that plays in the here and now, in the midst of society, utilising the freedom of jazz and the breadth of the Scandinavian folk music tradition. Thus her songs have also found their place outside the sacred, in the secular realm.
Janne Mark has been singing in the Brorson Church in the centre of Copenhagen since 2000. With her music, she has revitalised the Danish hymn tradition like no one else in her generation.
Janne Mark is a fascinating artist who has successfully forged a path between hymn, folk, song and jazz.
