Viktoria Søndergaard
Critically acclaimed and award-winning vibraphonist Viktoria Søndergaard leads her dream band SECRETS. A collective, playful, and boundary-pushing project rooted in jazz, chamber music, rap, and the Scandinavian tonal tradition.
In SECRETS, improvisation and poetry meet in an organic whole. “Music full of imagination, life-affirming joy, and the desire to turn dreams into reality” - Carl Prize 2025
Her debut album “Music of Secrets” has been hailed as “a visionary artistic triumph” - Blue in Green Radio and “music of ruthless intimacy” - Jazzthing
Known from projects like BARYL and SMUK ZVUK (with Klára Pudláková), Søndergaard has collaborated with Marilyn Mazur, DR’s Big Band, Smag På Dig Selv, and Tivoli’s Ensemble. She has received numerous awards, including the Aarhus Jazz Talent Prize (2022), Tivoli Jazz Prize (2022),
Roager Grant (2024), and the Carl Prize Honorary Award (2025), personally presented by Marilyn Mazur herself (RIP). In 2025 Viktoria was nominated for a Danish Music Award as the Musician of the year.
