Nordic Music Days Iceland October 5-14

Nordic Music Days 2006

The music festival Nordic Music Days marks its 118th anniversary this year. The festival has been a focus of musical life in the Nordic countries, and also an important forum for new Nordic music. NMD is the festival of the Nordic Council of Composers, to which five composers’ associations in the Nordic countries are affiliated. Over the years, however, the Faroes – and in more recent years the Baltic countries – have also played an active role in the festival.
