Cosmic Swing Orchestra
With abundant musical energy, humour, and a constant eye on the world around them, Cosmic Swing Orchestra is a band that both challenges and entertains.
Their music moves effortlessly between explosive ensemble passages, danceable grooves, and open-ended improvisations, drawing on a wide range of influences from jazz, pop, electronica, and free improvisation.
Founded by Petter Dalane in 2018, the ensemble brings together an all-star line-up of young musicians from Norway’s jazz and pop scenes. Together, they have created a sound that is playful, energetic, and uncompromising, always leaving room for the unexpected.
Over the past year, Cosmic Swing Orchestra has made a strong impression with sold-out performances of The Jazz Togetherness Show at both Oslo Jazz Festival and Jazzfest. The band has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most exciting new live acts on the Norwegian jazz scene.
Their concert at Moldejazz will offer a unique preview of the ensemble’s forthcoming studio album, produced by Lars Horntveth and scheduled for release in 2027.
When Cosmic Swing Orchestra takes the stage at Teatret Vårt on Saturday evening, everything is in place for a concert brimming with joy, surprises, and musical exuberance.
