#sinfo@icelandsymphony “ELEGANT, ELEGIAC...ENTHRALLING.”
— New York Times
“In the past, English pilots led “Turkish”
pirates to the shores of Iceland under
a Dutch captain to capture and sell
Icelanders into slavery. From 2000 to
2008, “Vikings” led Dutch and English
investors into Icelandic banking
(Icesave), while laying the groundwork
for the financial slavery of Icelanders.”
