Hevreh Ensemble Travels to Iceland

By Judith Dansker:

In the summer of 2022, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Iceland. Not knowing quite what to expect, I was delighted by the stunning scenery, warm welcoming people and the delicious food

In 2023,Hevreh Ensemble was the recipient of a generous donation and along with grants from Hofstra University, we thought that another tour might be possible. Iceland came to mind and I started to reach out to various concert venues. Iceland has a total population of under 400,000; but I had discovered that the Icelandic people are art and music lovers.

We received an invitation to perform for a concert series in the far north of Iceland in the small fishing village of Seydisfjordur; The Blue Church Summer Concerts, and from this, the rest of the tour started to fall into place!
