Thrilled over my collaboration together with great composer José Luís Greco:

“….stretching vocal and instrumental technique so that she not only fits the music of the 20th and 21th centuries, but seemingly all the desperate fear and unbridled joy of human existence into every the extraordinary lyric” -Jazz da Gama
Excited to announce that I will be performing in NYC at Bar Thalia/Symphony Space on December 21!

Feeling honored to be featured as a composer for the upcoming season of Composers Concordance!
Composers Concordance Upcoming Season 2018-2019
Featuring “Hey Doctor” by Sophie Dunér ©
Review excerpt: “As always, the Swedish singer Sophie Dunér presents something brilliant and out of the norm . It has always been like that, a jazz singer, but in her own way – all the instrumentalists who left their mark on improvised music were in their own way. Note how she has control of what she does by simultaneously bringing her emotions to the outside, also expressed through verses that make her a respectable poet. She is one of the great contemporary singers. The album is among the most original savorine sounds of the year.” For full review, press link below.
Honored to have my video interview for DONNE featured in Gabriella di Laccio´s interview in Limelight Magazine
Gabriella di Laccio: there’s still a lot of ignorance of repertoire written by women
The DONNE project features “Ugly Beautiful” during Sophie´s video interview for them. The composition is from The City of My Soul (produced by Michael Haas & released on PARMA Recordings). One of the great CD reviews: “This is a first class creator and this is a stunning album, the music of which certainly opens up new and quite astonishing possibilities for other jazz vocal artists to emulate and expand” – Fanfare Magazine.

“This album is a killer. Nearly every track comes at you like an assault of rhythm in which the twists and turns of the music keep you on the edge of your seat.” – The Art Music Lounge | The City of Dizzy is for sale on CD Baby https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/sophieduner3
