Cordelia

About Me

Elephantine expression! Cabaret catharsis! Symphonic silliness! Intense improvisation!
Throw it all together in a circus tent with a blindfolded string quartet and several suspicious horses, and…Voila! Cordelia’s new album “At the Pink Pony”.
A spectacular work of maximalism, in which “more is more”, where the lyrics set the scene and the music tells the tales…

The songs are stories each unfolding in a different realm, ranging from a street-side café to a second-hand store, from a quiet cavern of contemplation to the wicked world that lurks inside our minds…

Cordelia is an ensemble of 9 musicians from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, performing original music together since 2000.

“At the Pink Pony" is Cordelia’s long-awaited second album, released in 2009.
