Iceland Airwaves: FM Belfast, Retro Stefson, and Sóley
Since its first edition was held in an airplane hangar in 1999, Iceland Airwaves has become one of the premier annual showcases for new music—Icelandic and otherwise—in the world.

This choir, which is considered one of the best girls’ choirs in the world, combines old song traditions with new music, always working to develop the choir tradition exploring the special sound of young girls’ voices. Through a strong focus on educating children and youth in the choir tradition, this elite ensemble covers a broad repertoire encompassing Grundtvig’s hymns, modern compositions, and pop songs without losing its musical spark and infectious enthusiasm.
