Johansson & Kornerup Duo

Cello & Accordion Duo with a contemporary, nordic atmosphere

Nicolai Kornerup and I have worked closely together for many years now on various projects. From our studio, Wooden Box Studio in Copenhagen, we regularly deliver string arrangements for TV shows, such as Toppen Af Poppen, X-Factor and MGP, on the national channels, TV2 and DR. Besides this we work with artists such as Kwamie Liv, Soleima and Sys Bjerre.

Nicolai’s background is also in classical music, combined with a degree from Rhythmic Music Conservatorium in Denmark. He works both as a producer and as a practicing musician in own ensembles and together with other artists.

Together Nicolai and I have dived into the wonders of the combination of cello and accordion. We already work together with composition, improvisation, arrangements, song writing and so on, and now we are developing this new duo constellation.

All the duo’s music is original compositions. The music lingers between classical music, traditional folk music and new nordic tunes.
We are very interested in investigating and breaking down the walls between genres in our inspiration from e.g. Bach, impressionism, nordic tone and a wide understanding of folk music.
