BIOGRAPHY
Pianist Frede Ewert is a graduate of Copenhagen’s Music Conservatoire. As a studio musician, he worked with several of Denmark’s most popular artists, such as Hanne Boel. He was a member of a Joni Mitchell revival band which released two albums. Ewert wrote music for radio and television as well as film scores.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
In the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest, Frede Ewert was a keyboard player in the backing group of Kirsten & Søren, who represented Denmark in the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Det’ lige det'.
Eleven years later, in 1995, Ewert was the musical director of the Danish Eurovision pre-selection, leading the DR Musik Event Pop Orkester. Subsequently, he also conducted the winning song of the Danish heats, ‘Fra Mols til Skagen’ by singer Aud Wilken, in the Eurovision Song Contest final in Dublin. The original song, with the banjo dominating the minimalist instrumentation, pleased the juries and finished fifth.
One year later, in 1996, Ewert again was the musical director of Denmark's Eurovision pre-selection, leading his band for all songs including the winning 'Kun med dig', which was performed by Dorthe Andersen and Martin Loft. Because this song did not qualify from the audio semi-final, however, Ewert never got to conduct it on the Eurovision stage in Oslo.
