Samuel Rees
PRODUCER
Head of CakeIf you lived in Copenhagen between 2014-2019, you might have seen Sam on stage with the Royal Danish Ballet, but after seeing a particularly sexy house one day, Sam decided his dancing days were over. He is now an architect and builds each year’s Equinox Festival like a sturdy apartment building. Equinox is his passion project, and he says that by programming forgotten composers it feels like we are helping to re-write history, in our own little way.
