Nordiska Musikdagar, Reykjavík

Reykjavik is hosting the Nordic Music Days 2016, one of the world’s oldest music festivals, founded in 1888. The festival will showcase pioneering contemporary music performances by Nordic composers performed by leading ensembles and soloists from the Nordic region. In addition to the performance and sound art programme, The Nordic Music Days Pavilion will premiere at the festival. The NMD Pavilion serves as a platform for experiments, research, critical discussions, lectures, panels and workshops. With INTEGRATION as the key word, the pavilion will tackle topics such as archiving in experimental music, gender equality in the contemporary music scene, culture politics within the Nordic countries and the integration and modernization of the West Nordic countries.
