Lineup

The artistic director of the group, composer Per Störby, is known for electro acts such as Zeigeist and Pearl Fiction. New Tide's music is a unique mix of baroque music, nuevo tango, free improvisation, minimalism, post minimalism and contemporary classical music. They are known for their special sound with much dynamism. In 2010, they were awarded "Group Of The Year" in the Swedish folk and world music gala.[2]

The "New Tide Orquesta" name was first introduced in the music documentary/concert "New Tide Orquesta - The River Session", produced by Fredrik Egerstrand and Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm for broadcast on Swedish national television (SVT) in 2012. The word "tango" was replaced with "tide" because the group felt that they had "grown out of the tango suit"[3] and needed to develop their music without boundaries and obligations.
