Event Details

Recognized as a “classical music gamechanger” (The Line of Best Fit), Eydís Evensen is a composer and pianist from Iceland with Norwegian and Faroese roots. Her compositions, guided by emotion, are intimate explorations of mourning, hope, reflection, and renewal—creating a world that invites listeners to feel their way through the music. Performing a selection from her three albums, including her newest release Oceanic Mirror (2025), which captures the ocean in all its power and movement, she takes audiences on a transcendent journey.

Josefine Opsahl is an award-winning Danish composer and cellist hailed by The Strad as a “boundary defying and remarkable composer and artist.” She renews and pushes the rich legacy of music traditions forward through her work. Her solo performances fuse acoustic cello and electronics, creating dynamic and mesmerizing sound worlds. Opsahl performs works from her latest album, CYTROPIA (2025), in a program that unfolds as a grand sonic journey beyond the grid of genres and offers a manifesto for progress, innovation, and human creativity.
