KIMI

KIMI is a Copenhagen based trio comprised of Katerina Anagnostidou (percussion), Jónas Ásgeir Ásgeirsson (accordion) and Þórgunnur Anna Örnólfsdóttir (mezzo-soprano). KIMI performs new music, having commissioned numerous works for their unique instrumentation by composers such as Nick Martin, Þuríður Jónsdóttir, Christos Farmakis and Finnur Karlsson, to name a few. KIMI has performed at several festivals, such as NJORD Biennale, Akureyri Art Summer, and Skálholt Summer Concerts, where they were ensemble-in-residence. Their concert at Skálholt was nominated for Concert of the year at the Iceland Music Awards 2021 in the category of classical and contemporary music. KIMI composes folk-inspired original works, primarily based on melodies from their native countries, Iceland and Greece. KIMI’s coming projects are a USA tour with new works by Hugi Guðmundsson and Marianna Filippi, as well as an extensive theatre project with Norwegian theatre company House of Stories and composer Þuríður Jónsdóttir.
