KIMI Ensemble

KIMI is a Copenhagen based trio comprised of Katerina Anagnostidou (percussion), Jónas Ásgeirsson (accordion) and Þórgunnur Örnólfsdóttir (voice). KIMI performs new music, having commissioned numerous works for their unique instrumentation by composers such as Nikki Martin (UK), Þuríður Jónsdóttir (IS), Marianna Filippi (USA) and Christos Farmakis (GR), to name a few.

KIMI has performed at several notable festivals, such as NJORD biennale, Akureyri Art Summer, and Skálholt Summer Concerts, where they were ensemble-in-residence. Their concert at Skálholt was subsequently nominated Concert of the year at the Iceland Music Awards 2021 in the category classical and contemporary music. Their recording of Bittersweet by Nikki Martin was released as an EP by Dacapo Records in 2022. KIMI also composes folk-inspired original works, mostly based on melodies from their native countries Iceland and Greece. Among KIMI’s upcoming projects are a tour of Greece and a performance at the Novembre Nordico festival in Rome.
