Nordic Music Days festival in the Faroe Island
The festival is curated by the composers themselves. Each year the national societies of composers organize the festival on behalf of the Council of Nordic Composers.
This years’ festival and stellar program is organized by The Association of Faroese Composers and The Danish Composers’ Society in collaboration with the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands. The Faroese capital of Tórshavn will be buzzing with new Nordic music when the festival is held, for the first time ever, in the Faroe Islands, 1-4 September 2021.
Under the main theme “Roots”, it is their vision to create strong and present experiences for all. Through meetings between audiences and different concert formats, we wish to provide a breeding ground for the Faroe Islands' unique musical traditions and the participating artists' own deep roots to nurture each other.
