When love carries us through life's darkest passages, who really carries whom? The work Carrier is a sensual and boundary-pushing concert experience created by the experimental rock band SVIN and the classical ensemble Aarhus Sinfonietta. The work is performed as part of the Golden Days Festival, where this year's theme is "Love". In this hour-long rite of passage, the raw power of drone rock and the emotional depth of orchestral music meet in an intense collaboration.

The audience is invited on a symbolic journey from the surface, down into the dark depths of the mind and back towards the light. With an evocative visual staging by Maya SB, the music becomes a living space where the many forms of love emerge: the claustrophobic and the grand, the vulnerable and the transformative.

Carrier is about what we can't always put into words, about those transitional periods in life where love becomes both a burden and a power.

With improvisation as its focal point and a visual universe that reflects the movements of the music, SVIN and Aarhus Sinfonietta create a work where the boundaries between genres, emotions and form dissolve. A concert that is not only to be heard, but felt in the body, in the heart and in the darkness behind the eyes.

The work is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Koda Kultur and the Jazz Fund.

Carrier is part of VEGA's work on "New formats for the live scene 2025-2028". At VEGA, we call this work VEGA BEYOND, a platform for innovative concert experiences and experimental live formats.
