SYSTIR (Icelandic for “sister”) have grown from the legendary ANÚNA, creating a new and eclectic musical voice that explores the myriad shades and hues of the female voice. With six or more performers on stage at one time, SYSTIR have become one of today’s most sought-after vocal ensembles. They blend modern vocal and instrumental techniques with ancient vocal performance practices to create a unique ethereal ambience. Drawing from the wealth of indigenous songs from across Europe, including sean-nós, SYSTIR connects ancient vocal styles with contemporary storytelling.
The members of the group in Iceland are Amelia Jones, Lauren McGlynn, Lorna Breen, Caitríona Sherlock, Sara Di Bella, Sara Weeda, and Andrew Boushell.

Under the artistic direction of Irish composer Michael McGlynn, SYSTIR is carving a singular path – one that defies traditional genre labels while remaining rooted in place, voice, and identity. Last year they travelled to Italy and Japan, and in 2025 they will make their debut performances in Germany, Finland, Iceland and China - a major step in their growing international presence.
