Reception at the Embassy

Last night we attended a reception for Árstíðir at the Icelandic Embassy in Moscow. We met with the ambassador and his co-workers, as well as a variety of journalists and prominent people from the Russian musical landscape. We gave a short speech about the band’s forthcoming tour, as well as an introduction to IMX (Iceland Music Export) which has supported us over the years.

Between drinks and dinner and speeches, we sang a few a cappella numbers and then spent the night mingling pleasantly.
