We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

We’re thrilled to announce that UK composer and cellist Peter Gregson – one of the most innovative curators in the new classical landscape – will be joining Agnes on the Australian leg of her tour! Catch them both at QPAC September 24.

About Agnes Obel

Agnes Obel’s poised and melancholic chamber pop draws from the same atmosphere-heavy well as cinematic spellcasters, but with a succinct aura of Scandinavian refinery.

An evocative blend of alternative, neo-classical, pop, jazz and electronic production found mass success in Europe on the strength of the platinum-selling Philharmonics and Aventine. Both albums were written (with the exception of a John Cale cover), performed & produced by Obel herself. Pure, austere, and remarkably poised, the pristine mix of instrumentals, atmosphere, melancholy balladry and unique production was both a critical & commercial success.

Her ambitious 2016 release, Citizen of Glass, introduced ghostly electronics, voice modulation, and a late-’20s monophonic synthesizer called a Trautonium into the mix, helped to establish her on a world-wide basis as both a songwriter, artist and producer.

In 2018 Agnes signed with Deutsche Grammophon (and Blue Note Records in the United States). Later the same year Obel curated a Late Night Tales compilation, featuring original music and poetry.

2020 saw Obel release her fourth full-length studio album, Myopia, and once again, just like her previous album trilogy, was entirely self-written, recorded & produced by Obel herself in her home studio in Berlin. Extensive world touring followed across 18 countries throughout Europe, United Kingdom, United States, Australia and New Zealand.

Obel’s music is a mainstay in the world of TV, cinema, gaming and fashion. Including usage in the likes of The Last of Us, True Detective, Big Little Lies and Dark Souls III. “Riverside”, “Fuel to Fire”, “The Curse”, “September Song”, “It’s Happening Again”, “Familiar” … the list of tracks adored by fellow creatives goes on.
