For our concerts in March 2025 we are intrigued to welcome, for the first time, the Icelandic/Norwegian Duo Isnord – piano with four hands! The concerts are on Tuesday, March 11th and Thursday March 13th.
This acclaimed piano duo Isnord has given close to 100 concerts in 10 European countries and North America since 2012. The duo takes a special interest in Nordic music and musical culture, and several Icelandic and Norwegian composers have written pieces especially for them.
Icelandic pianist Jónína Erna Arnardottir studied at Borgarfjördur Musikkskole, the Reykjavík Musikkon-servatorium, and the Grieg Academy with Jiri Hlinka. Morten Fagerli hails from Norway and has studied at the Barratt Dues Musikkinstitutt i Oslo, and the Grieg Academy with Jiri Hlinka.
