For many years Thea Nielsen and Oliver Fartach-Naini have toured the world with their innovative and multicultural programmes. Their unusual programming has always been difficult to describe.
Ethnoclassics is the term they started using when touring the United States in 2004. Ethnoclassics stands for classical music with ethnic roots or influences, presented with entertaining first hand background information. Many of the presented works are written for the artists.
Ethnoclassics is also a platform for the musical projects which Oliver and Thea are involved in.
