The duo Dream.box – consisting of singer Yvonne Dombrowski and harpist Marie Schroeder – was founded in Hamburg in 2020. The two musicians met in 2018 and decided last year, when the coronavirus pandemic prevented almost all concert activities, to develop a program together to boost their own artistic development. A friendship grew into a deep musical bond, in which Marie Schroeder's classical expertise and Yvonne Dombrowski's vocal style, rooted in jazz singing, combine to create a beguiling blend: The unusual line-up fascinates and captivates listeners. The duo's program draws on various musical styles, which is partly due to the musicians' training. While Yvonne studied jazz singing in Osnabrück, among other things, Marie completed her studies as a classical concert harpist in Berlin. Accordingly, both styles influence their collaborative musical work. At the same time, it is difficult to classify their music into a specific genre. Dream.box is something completely unique. The arrangements are written especially for the duo.
Now Yvonne and Marie are presenting their first album, "Midwinter." It features both familiar and lesser-known winter and Christmas songs in new, sensitive interpretations that continually surprise with their multifaceted nature. During the dark and cold season, "Midwinter" invites you to cozy up in front of the fireplace with a cup of tea, listen, and perhaps dream a little.
