Event info

Dúplum dúó is inspired by modern day poetry and how the art song form is interpreted today. With only a voice and viola, their music is both raw and intimate. The music they perform is built on simple forms and dissonant harmonies in which the voice and viola are tightly intertwined.

Björk Níelsdóttir, soprano/composer
