Celebrating the visionary, boundary-pushing artistry of the Nordic countries, audiences are invited to transport themselves to the north for a night at Lincoln Center’s Nordic Next, featuring the Lincoln Center debuts of Eydís Evensen and Josefine Opsahl.

Recognized as a “classical music gamechanger” (The Line of Best Fit), Eydís Evensen is a composer and pianist from Iceland with Norwegian and Faroese roots. Her compositions, guided by emotion, are intimate explorations of mourning, hope, reflection, and renewal—creating a world that invites listeners to feel their way through the music. Performing a selection from her three albums, including her newest release Oceanic Mirror (2025), which captures the ocean in all its power and movement, she takes audiences on a transcendent journey.

Josefine Opsahl is an award-winning Danish composer and cellist hailed by The Strad as a “boundary defying and remarkable composer and artist.” She renews and pushes the rich legacy of music traditions forward through her work. Her solo performances fuse acoustic cello and electronics, creating dynamic and mesmerizing sound worlds. Opsahl performs works from her latest album, CYTROPIA (2025), in a program that unfolds as a grand sonic journey beyond the grid of genres and offers a manifesto for progress, innovation, and human creativity.

Nordic Next is presented in collaboration with the Consulates General of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden in New York, and with the Embassy of Iceland in Washington, D.C., with additional support from the American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF).
