NOC45 in Reykjavík

At NOC45 the focus will be sustainability; how we can plan for a greener future, how to build resilience and teamwork within an orchestra and how we can celebrate diversity and be more inclusive. Speakers this year include Eliza Reid, First Lady of Iceland; Alan Davey, Controller at BBC Radio 3 and Proms; Simon Eder, Managing Director at Intermusica Artist' Management, and many more.

The Friday will be a special collaboration with the Nordic Sound with focus on Digital Platforms where the purpose is to find ways to catalyze the digitalization for the Nordic orchestras, ensambles, and concert halls. The Friday will be sold as stand alone event at EUR 250 for everyone interested in the digital platform lectures and discussions.
