For one night only, the music of Iceland and the United States will be brought together on October 13th, 2016 at the Northern Voices concert. Taking place at the Scandinavia House in New York City, the concert will pay tribute to the relationship between Iceland and the U.S. and explore the effect of seeing oneself through another’s eyes.
