Efterklang (at Walker Art Center)

“One of the world’s most uniquely-minded bands . . . to see them live is mesmeric.” —BBC

Enter the inspired musical universe of Efterklang. Otherworldly pop meets ambitious and intimate orchestration for a sound that is both sweepingly majestic and instantly catchy. Known for their joyous and stunning live shows, this seven-member Copenhagen-based ensemble of multi-instrumentalists “has a knack for gorgeous, slow-motion buildups and sudden, shivery drop-offs; the music gleams and drips like an ice sculpture that never stops melting” (New York Times).

Copresented with the Walker Art Center.

Preshow gathering in the Balcony Bar, 7–8 pm
Before the performance, join the Walker’s season launch party in the Balcony Bar for complimentary food and drink.

Support provided by The McKnight Foundation.
