Eydís Evensen, the talented Icelandic pianist, in concert at L'Archipel in Paris

She is Icelandic, plays the piano to perfection and is back with a new opus. The musician and composer Eydís Evensen will be in Paris this spring for a unique evening on Friday, June 2, 2023. To discover this talented pianist, go to the small room of L'Archipel, this multidisciplinary place dedicated to cinema, theater and music located in the 10th district of the capital.

In the tradition of her compatriots Ólafur Arnalds and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson, but also of Hania Rani, Ludovico Einaudi and Max Richter, Eydís Evensen is one of those contemporary neoclassical artists who make us shiver with happiness.

At the head of a sumptuous first opus as soaring as bewitching, entitled"Bylur", Eydís Evensen comes back to us with a second disc called this time"The Light". To be released on May 26, 2023 by XXIM Records, this opus - both personal and emotional - transports us once again to the dreamlike and cinematographic landscapes of Iceland; this country of fire and ice from which she originates and which never ceases to send us new musical talents.

With"The Light", Eydís Evensen reveals herself a little more, presenting herself not only as a pianist, arranger and lyricist, but also as a singer, a first!

This spring, Eydís Evensen is planning to make up for it by announcing an exclusive and intimate concert at L'Archipel in Paris on June 2, 2023.
